Rather than showing the Declaration of Independence alone, this lithograph pairs its text with portraits of the presidents, linking the 1776 statement of independence to the generations of executives who followed. Lithography, a method of printing from a stone or plate that spread widely in the nineteenth century, made detailed, affordable sheets like this available for homes, schools and public buildings. Such prints were popular as patriotic decoration and as teaching aids, presenting the nation's founding and its leadership as one continuous story. The arrangement of the portraits around the text is worth studying, since the layout was part of the message.
