EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the introduction and first page of "Common Sense" by Thomas Paine, a groundbreaking publication from 1776. Created as a lithograph by an anonymous American School artist in the 18th century, this image is now part of a private collection. Thomas Paine (1737-1809), an influential author and revolutionary, penned "Common Sense" during the tumultuous times of the American Revolutionary War. This powerful tract played a pivotal role in shaping public opinion and rallying support for independence from British rule. The photograph captures not only the visual beauty of the printed text but also its historical significance. The carefully engraved words on display represent one of America's most important literary works that ignited passion and inspired countless individuals to join the cause for freedom. As we delve into this image, we are transported back to a time when North America was embroiled in political turmoil. The engraving itself symbolizes both hope and defiance as it conveys Paine's persuasive arguments against monarchy while advocating for self-governance. This remarkable piece serves as a reminder of our nation's founding principles and pays homage to those who fought tirelessly for liberty during the American War of Independence. It stands as an enduring testament to Paine's profound impact on American history, making it an invaluable artifact worth cherishing within our collective memory.
