Interior scene of groups of men in discussion over document in hands of one at table in forefront.

Of the many and varied lithographs issued by Currier & Ives that celebrated the fight for and success of American freedom, “The Declaration of Independence” is one of the most poignant. The image symbolizes the new nation’s pledge to fairness and belief that “all men are created equal.”
