DAVID K STONE (1922-2001) "FEDERAL HALL NYC" OILDavid K. Stone (American, 1922 - 2001) "Federal Hall in New York City circa 1780" Signed lower right. Original Oil painting on Masonite.
Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation.
This painting is the original painting which was published on the Fleetwood First Day of Issue Maximum Card for the U.S. 22c Drafting the Bill of Rights stamp issued September 25, 1989.
The cry of freedom that rang through the first thirteen American colonies in the late 1780's was not carried by a single voice. It was the utterance of many separate voices, all crying for liberty. Yet many were uncertain just what liberty would mean, or how long it would last, and were hesitant to put their trust in a new administration. Post-revolutionary Americans wanted a guarantee that their national government would never turn against the premise it was founded on -- individual freedom. Thus, ten amendments to the Constitution listing specific basic freedoms and procedural safeguards were adopted. The amendments, called the Bill of Rights, specify freedoms and protections that are the core of American civil liberty and affirm that the individual may never be deprived by governmental power. This artwork shows Federal Hall in New York City, where America's First Congress drafted the Bill of Rights.
