  • Benjamin Franklin (10 Vols., New York, 1905- 7), 5:167
    The American Aesthetic of Franklin's Visual Creations ENJAMIN FRANKLIN'S VISUAL CREATIONS—his cartoons, designs for flags and paper money, emblems and devices— Breveal an underlying American aesthetic, i.e., an egalitarian and nationalistic impulse. Although these implications may be dis- cerned in a number of his visual creations, I will restrict this essay to four: first, the cartoon of Hercules and the Wagoneer that appeared in Franklin's pamphlet Plain Truth in 1747; second, the flags of the Associator companies of December 1747; third, the cut-snake cartoon of May 1754; and fourth, his designs for the first United States Continental currency in 1775 and 1776. These four devices or groups of devices afford a reasonable basis for generalizations concerning Franklin's visual creations. And since the conclusions shed light upon Franklin's notorious comments comparing the eagle as the emblem of the United States to the turkey ("a much more respectable bird and withal a true original Native of America"),1 I will discuss that opinion in an appendix. My premise (which will only be partially proven during the fol- lowing discussion) is that Franklin was an extraordinarily knowl- edgeable student of visual symbols, devices, and heraldry. Almost all eighteenth-century British and American printers used ornaments and illustrations. Many printers, including Franklin, made their own woodcuts and carefully designed the visual appearance of their broad- sides, newspapers, pamphlets, and books. Franklin's uses of the visual arts are distinguished from those of other colonial printers by his artistic creativity and by his interest in and scholarly knowledge of the general subject.

  • A Picture Gallery of U.S. Colonial Coins and Tokens Prior to the Establishment of the U.S
    A picture gallery of U.S. colonial coins and tokens Prior to the establishment of the U.S. Mint in 1792, several of the original colonies and states made their own coins, or in some cases coins or tokens were made elsewhere (usually in Eng- land, Ireland or France) for use in the American colonies. There are also some post-1792 private issues, oen depicng George Washington, that are considered part of the U.S. colonial coin series. For more informaon, see A Guide Book of United States Coins (“Red Book”). Collecng colonial coins is more popular “back east,” but there are a few Pacific Northwest col- lectors who have built collecons of colonials, and there is an annual meeng of the Colonial Coin Collectors Club (C4) at the annual PNNA spring convenon. “The Colonial Era” introducon on the next page was originally wrien for a C4 display at an ANA show in the Northwest. The coins and tokens pictured in this gallery are from a local collecon that was sold, with the excepon that the Fugio Cent was from a different private collecon. Enjoy!
