EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts the distinguished figure of Jonathan Trumbull (1710-1785), an American statesman of great significance during the colonial period and the American Revolution. Trumbull, born in Lebanon, Connecticut, served as the Governor of Connecticut from 1769 to 1784, making him the longest-serving governor in the state's history. His political career began in the colonial assembly, where he advocated for the rights of the colonists and opposed British taxation policies. During the Revolutionary War, Trumbull played a crucial role in providing essential supplies and support to the Continental Army. He is famously known for his unwavering commitment to the cause, which included persuading the Continental Congress to pay soldiers in paper currency rather than in worthless British currency. This decision not only boosted morale among the troops but also helped to finance the war effort. Trumbull's diplomatic skills were also put to the test when he served as the American envoy to France from 1778 to 1784. In this role, he successfully negotiated several crucial alliances and treaties, including the Treaty of Alliance with France and the Treaty of Paris, which officially ended the Revolutionary War. This evocative print captures the essence of Trumbull's enduring legacy as a statesman and a patriot. His contributions to the American Revolution and the early history of the United States are a testament to his unwavering commitment to the cause of liberty and his ability to navigate the complex political landscape of the time. The intricate details of the print, from Trumbull's stern yet resolute expression to the ornate frame, serve to highlight the significance of this historical figure and the era in which he lived.
