John Trumbell's Declaration of Independence[edit]

Original - John Trumbell's Declaration of Independence, 1819, oil-on-canvas.
Reason
This well-known painting has obvious EV, is at high resolution, and is a recognizable image to many Americans. It is also the image found on the reverse of the American two dollar bill. I'm surprised this has not yet become a featured picture.

  • Regretfull Support I was looking for a big version of this for a long time so I could nom it FP status, but I got sidetracked at home, and now the big version is an FPC candidate. Oh well, thats life I guess. At any rate, well done, definately an FP photo. TomStar81 (Talk) 00:01, 31 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
