This image groups John Adams and Thomas Jefferson with two other figures, Morris and Hamilton, under the heading "Leaders of the Continental Congress." The pairing is notable because it brings together men from different colonies and regions, a reminder that the Congress was a gathering of delegates who often disagreed. The record gives the date as about 1894 and credits A. Tholey, but it does not say whether the picture is a painting, an engraving, or a later reproduction. Such group portraits from the late 1800s often drew on the Centennial-era interest in the Revolution, when artists and publishers reimagined the founders for a public eager for national heroes.
