c. 1777 Portrait Print of Benjamin Franklin, Choice Very Fine.
7.5" x 5.5" uncolored engraving on paper, 9" x 6.25" with margins. This French engraving of a young Benjamin Franklin sporting his beaver hat is on evenly toned paper with a light horizontal fold, most apparent in the margins. Another small hole in bottom margin, well away from the engraving. Statesman, inventor, member of the Continental Congress, signer of the Declaration of Independence, regardless of his social status, Franklin endeared colonists and noblemen alike with his humble plain dress.
