Few pictures of the period tie two deaths so closely to one date. The print's title, *Funeral Thoughts, Excited By the Death of John Adams and Thomas Jefferson*, refers to the two former presidents who died on July 4, 1826, the fiftieth anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. Jefferson died at Monticello that morning and Adams at his home in Quincy, Massachusetts, that afternoon, and the coincidence quickly became a national story. The print's wording suggests it was meant as commentary on that moment, when the country's founding generation was passing from the scene.
