EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a rare artifact from American history - a Faneuil-Hall Lottery Ticket signed by none other than John Hancock himself. Created in 1765, this ink on paper masterpiece is now part of the esteemed collection at the New-York Historical Society. John Hancock, famously known as the first signatory of the Declaration of Independence in 1776, was not only a revolutionary politician but also an avid gambler. This ticket represents his love for chance and betting, offering us a glimpse into his multifaceted personality. The image transports us to Faneuil Hall, where eager participants gathered to test their luck and potentially win big. It serves as a reminder that even influential figures like Hancock enjoyed indulging in games of chance during this pivotal period in American history. As we admire this piece, we are reminded of the significance it holds within our nation's story. The Declaration of Independence itself stands as one of America's most cherished symbols of freedom and independence. And here we have an artifact directly linked to its primary signer - an extraordinary connection between past and present. Through this photograph, we can appreciate both the artistic beauty captured by the anonymous 18th-century American artist and the historical importance embodied by John Hancock's signature. It is truly a remarkable testament to our nation's rich heritage and serves as an invitation to delve deeper into our collective past.
