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!
