Thomas Paine Signed Cut
Thomas Paine (February 9, 1737 – June 8, 1809) signed 1.5 X 4.5 signed paper. The paper is signed in black iron based ink. Thomas Paine was an influential 18th-century writer of essays and pamphlets. Among them were "The Age of Reason", regarding the place of religion in society; "Rights of Man", a piece defending the French Revolution; and "Common Sense", which was published during the American Revolution. "Common Sense", Paine's most influential piece, brought his ideas to a vast audience, swaying the otherwise undecided public opinion to the view that independence from the British was a necessity. His writings influenced the American Revolution, and helped pave the way for the Declaration of Independence. This item has been professionally custom matted and framed.
