Titled *The Foundation of American Government*, this color print uses photomechanical reproduction, a process that let a publisher make many inexpensive copies of a single design. The Osborn Company of Newark, New Jersey, issued it around 1925, a period when patriotic imagery of the founding era was widely displayed in schools, clubs, and homes. The artist credited on the piece is Hy. Hintermeister. The title frames government as something built on a firm base, and the image asks viewers to consider what that base rests on.
