Samuel Adams

John Singleton Copley (American, 1738–1815)

c. 1772

Few words in American history cut as sharply as Samuel Adams' defiant challenge to those who would choose comfort over liberty. Written in 1776 from Boston, this passage from his Revolutionary Circular Letter remains as powerful today as the moment it was written. This striking framed canvas print from the ValleyRoadArts American Legacy Collection pairs John Singleton Copley's iconic portrait of Adams with his most celebrated words — a bold statement piece for any home office, study, or library. A powerful gift for the patriot, the liberty lover, or anyone who believes the animating contest of freedom is never truly finished.
