Historical Background Behind the Design

Taken from the original illustration in Franklin’s The Pennsylvania Gazette, May 9, 1754.  Originally, a warning to the colonies, urging them to unite against the French and Native American allies, and later used as an appeal to the states during the Revolutionary War.  The rattlesnake segments are labeled,  S.C., N.C., V., M., P., N.J., N.Y., and N.E.

From the Printing Office of Edes & Gill located in the Clough House (c 1715) on the grounds of the Old North Church Historic Site in Boston. In a black frame.

Print size: 8" x 10"

The "Join or Die" design is also in a crewneck shirt, long-sleeved shirt, sweatshirt, women's v-neck shirt, tank top for women, woven socks that are made in the USA, sticker, and magnet.

Shipping

For shipments to addresses within the U.S. (scroll down for International shipping)

Flat-rate shipping: Regardless of the number of items you order, the shipping price for shirts, caps, unframed prints and posters, bracelets, lapel pins, pendants, and button packs is $5.95.

For hooded and crewneck sweatshirts, mugs, and blankets, the shipping cost is $8.95. 

Our flat rate shipping means you can add two or more t-shirts, sweatshirts, or caps for no additional shipping charge.

Note that some large or heavy items, including larger framed prints, may have a different shipping charge or a shipping surcharge. When they do, it will be noted on the product page.

 

Timing

We try to ship orders within three business days of receiving them. This applies to in-stock items. Framed items or items requiring personalization may take up to two weeks longer. If there is an extended delay, it will be noted on the product page.

We close for a week over Independence Day and Christmas. A notice will appear at the top of every page of the site in advance of this closure.

We ship most orders via USPS, so if the post office is closed, we won't be shipping orders that day.

If you need to receive your order by a certain date, such as to give as a gift or have for a trip, we recommend ordering at least two weeks in advance, especially if you are using USPS shipping. 

If you're looking for reliable, on-time deliveries, we strongly suggest upgrading to "UPS 3 Business Day Select Shipping."

Additional notes:

  • When fulfillment takes longer, such as around the Christmas holidays, we'll put up an announcement in the site and will list recommended shipping deadlines below.
  • If an item is out of stock, we will contact you.
  • If one of your items is an advance order, that will be noted on the product page along with an estimate of when it will ship. If that estimated date changes, the product page will be updated.

          Symbol of Liberty

          My office is full of prints and images of Revolutionary America. I have been missing one of the most important, Join or Die. This was a pivotal piece of Revolutionary messaging that speaks to the importance of being united under the idea of Liberty. The print is well done and the framing is excellent. A welcome addition to my growing collection.

          Great Product

          Fantastic product at a good price! This framed print looks nice and has the option to be hung on the wall, or be used with a provided backing to make it free standing.

          Excellent product!

          I received Join or Die promptly and it looks perfect on my classroom wall. When I retire from teaching in a few years, it will be hanging in my home. That’s how much I love it!

          “ “Join or Die” print

          I absolutely love this print! The fact that it’s printed on a historic press makes it even more special to me. As a history teacher, I love making that connection between past and present.
