Writing the Declaration of Independence (USA) Ceramic Tile

This design features a painting showing a scene from American history. It depicts John Adams, Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin as they work on the Declaration of Independence. Paper has been thrown onto the floor, suggesting that the document has been strenuously worked and reworked. John Adams was a representative of Massachusetts, who became the second U.S. President. Thomas Jefferson was a representative of Virginia, who became the third U.S. President. Benjamin Franklin was a representative of Pennsylvania, who was known as one of the most important intellectuals of the Founding Fathers. The Declaration of Independence was presented to Congress on July 4, 1776. Ever since, Independence Day has been celebrated on this date every year.
