From the iconic Declaration of Independence, signed by the visionary founding fathers in 1776, to President Abraham Lincoln's powerful Inaugural address at the National Capitol, these artifacts hold immense significance. Delicate yet enduring, Heinrich Schliemann's copper Proclamation from 1823 transports us to an era where rebellion was suppressed with unwavering determination. Meanwhile, a lithograph dated August 23rd, 1775, reveals a vivid snapshot of American history during times of turmoil. Leonardo da Vinci's renowned Vitruvian Man takes center stage twice within this compilation - his masterful strokes capturing human perfection and scientific curiosity dating back to 1492. As we marvel at this timeless artwork, let us not forget its profound influence on art and anatomy. Journeying further into history brings us face-to-face with an enchanting map illustration depicting Moscow in the 17th century. This intricate depiction showcases Russia's rich cultural heritage and offers a glimpse into its past glory. The Code of Law (Sudebnik) enacted by Tsar Ivan IV in 1550 stands tall as a testament to justice and governance during one of Russia's most transformative periods. Its meticulous details provide insight into legal systems that have stood for centuries. Monumental Inscriptions. The very words evoke intrigue as we delve into lithographs from July 4th, 1828 - immortalizing moments when communities celebrated their shared values and commemorated their collective achievements. The Essex Republican Convention held on March 19th, 1823 echoes through time via another lithograph; it serves as evidence that political discourse has always been essential for societal progress. Lastly but no less significant is "Don't Unchain the Tiger. " - a lithograph from July 24th, 1863.
