Today we celebrate the anniversary of the day in 1776 when the Declaration of Independence was adopted by the Second Continental Congress in Philadelphia.

But, here's a fun fact you might not have known: Thomas Jefferson and John Adams, the only two signatories of the Declaration of Independence later to serve as presidents of the United States, both died on: July 4, 1826, which was also the 50th anniversary of the Declaration. 

Reproducing History 

We loved reproducing this beautiful, turn-of-the-century infographic for our client TheHistoryList.com. We scanned the nearly six-foot-long diagram showing The Rise and Fall of American Political Parties and Administrations, from 1789 to 1880 on our Metis flat-bed scanner. Then we printed the two-sided document and trimmed it with our precision cutter.

Have a great 4th of July

We'll see you when we re-open tomorrow.
