<b>Prints</b><hr><b>JOHN RUTLEDGE. Revolutionary statesman, Signer of the Constitution, and Associate Justice of the Supreme Court.
</b>
Engraving after a painting by John Trumbull, etched by Albert Rosenthal (1860-1939), Philadelphia, 1888. Uncolored. 4' x 6', with margins extending to 7.5' x 11.' Choice Extremely Fine. South Carolinians know that George Washington was not their first president; it was John Rutledge, elected in 1776. His service to that state, and southern interests - at the First and Second Continental Congresses, and at the Constitutional Convention - was unflagging.
