Titled *The Triumph*, this allegorical lithograph comes with a key that names its symbolic figures, a common device that invited viewers to read the scene as a moral or political statement rather than a straightforward likeness. It sits under Benjamin Franklin on this board, though Franklin never held the U.S. presidency; he did serve as president of Pennsylvania's Supreme Executive Council from 1785 to 1788. Lithography made inexpensive prints of public figures and civic themes widely available, so the key is worth reading closely alongside the figures.
