This print showcases the esteemed American statesman, John Hancock. Created by artist John B Forrest, this portrait captures the essence of a man who played a pivotal role in shaping American history during the 18th century. John Hancock's significance lies in his leadership as President of the Second Continental Congress from 1775 to 1777. It was during this time that he became renowned for being the first person to sign the United States Declaration of Independence, symbolizing his unwavering commitment to freedom and independence. Beyond his involvement in politics, Hancock served as Massachusetts' first Governor from 1780 until 1785. This position allowed him to contribute further to the development of his beloved state.
