Happy 4th of July!!

In keeping with the holiday, today’s Daily Public Domain image is of a painting by John Trumbull (1756-1843). It shows an idealized gathering of the signers of the Declaration (when in actuality not all of them signed on the same day). There are two versions of this painting, both by Trumbull. This one, which is slightly rougher and less polished, hangs in the Yale University Art Gallery, in New Haven, CT. The other hangs in the U.S. Capitol building.

Click on the image to see it / download it full-sized. I found this image on Wikipedia Commons.

And have a safe and happy 4th!

Peace,

Bekka
