His Excellency Elbridge Gerry LLD Governour of Massachusetts 1811. A signer of the Declaration rendered here in the full ceremony of his Bay State governorship — the engraving styling him with that antique honorific 'Governour,' a year before his name would be welded forever to the redistricting cartoon that gave us the word gerrymander.
About the Source
Bella Frye sources artifacts from the great American historical archive — the Library of Congress, the National Archives, regional historical societies, and the lithographic publishers (Currier & Ives, Kurz & Allison, Endicott, Sarony, Prang) who documented the republic from its founding through the early twentieth century. The aged paper tone, the engraver's hand, and the original plate annotations are preserved in the print.
Materials & Finish
Printed to order in our Pacific Northwest studio on premium 380gsm cotton canvas with archival pigment inks. Hand-finished and framed in our signature ornate frame with verdigris corner detail, available in three finishes:
- Ebony — deep black with carved ornate detailing; dramatic against light walls
- Verdigris — aged copper-green with antique patina; the signature Bella Frye look
- Bourbon — warm walnut tone with ornate relief; rich and historically grounded
Stretched canvas (frameless gallery wrap) is available for those who prefer a frameless presentation.
Where It Belongs
Libraries, studies, law offices, and any space drawn to the founding era — when the republic was still a proposition rather than a fact. Pairs naturally with other documents from the Bella Frye Republic collection — political broadsides, presidential portraits, military scenes, and the artifacts of American memory.
