Portrait engraving circa 1794 of Thomas Paine (1737 - 1809). Paine was an author, intellectual, revolutionary and one of the Founding Fathers of the USA. Born in Norfolk, he emigrated from England to Philadelphia in 1774 and is remembered as one of the greatest voices of the American Revolution - penning the popular and influential 50-page Common Sense pamplet in 1776 that argued for complete American independence from Britain. He returned to England in 1787 and published The Rights of Man in 1791 - opposing the idea of monarchy and defending the French Revolution.

Colour engraving print circa 1859 of Benjamin Franklin's infamous appearance before the Lords in Council (Privy Council) at Whitehall Chapel, London, in 1774. Engraving by Robert Whitechurch (1814 - c1880), based on a painting by Christian Schussele (1824 - 1879). Franklin (1706 - 1790) was publicly ridiculed and chastised during the appearance after he obtained and leaked letters written by Thomas Hutchinson, the English-appointed governor of Massachusetts. The letters had caused outrage in the Colonies because they called for a crackdown on the rights of Bostonians. Franklin's treatment by the Council accelerated the chain of events that ultimately resulted in the independence of the Colonies. Franklin was one of the Founding Fathers of the United States of America and was one of the "Committee of Five" appointed by the Second Continental Congress to draft the Declaration of Independence. He is also remembered as a noted polymath who excelled at many things. He was an author, theorist, diplomat, statesman, printer, inventor and scientist and is particularly remembered for his discoveries and theories regarding electricity and his invention of the lightning rod.

Vintage engraving print depicting the Battle of Lexington on April 19 1775 - the first military engagement of the American Revolution. It depicts a line of "minutemen" in the foreground exchanging fire with oncoming British troops. The battle was a skirmish between regular British soldiers and approximately 77 local minutemen under the command of Captain John Parker at Lexington, a town in Middlesex County, Massachusetts. Several hundred redcoats were on their way from Boston to seize colonists' military stores in the nearby town of Concord when the confrontation occurred. The minutemen militia - so-called because they were "ready at a minute's notice" to repel attackers - confronted them on the green. It remains unclear who fired the first shot but an exchange of gunfire broke out which left eight colonists dead or dying. The British moved on to Concord, where the stores had been removed by the colonists, and another firefight ensued with a larger force of colonists. The soldiers withdrew and made their way back to Boston - continually harried by local militia firing from behind barns, trees and walls. The historic skirmishes claimed the lives of 273 British soldiers and 95 colonists. Print circa 1903 by John H Daniels & Son.

Daguerreotype portrait photo circa 1840s of John Tyler. Tyler (1790 - 1862) was the tenth US President and held office from 1841 to 1845. He was the first Vice President to take office as a result of the death of a sitting President (William Henry Harrison) and at the time, aged 51, he was also the youngest President. Tyler's succession set a precedent that governed future successions and was eventually codified in the 25th Amendment to the constitution. His most notable achievement while in office was arguably the annexation of the Republic of Texas in 1845. Photo by Mathew B Brady.

Portrait print circa 1841 of William Henry Harrison. Harrison (1773 - 1841) was the ninth US President (1841), the oldest elected until Ronald Reagan in 1980, and the first to die in office. He died on his thirty-second day as President - the shortest tenure in American presidential history - and his death caused a brief constitutional crisis which ultimately resolved many issues about the Presidential succession. Prior to taking office Harrison was an army officer who gained national fame for leading US forces against American Indians at the Battle of Tippecanoe in 1811. He was also a General in the War of 1812 and was victorious at the Battle of the Thames in 1813. Engraving by John Sartain (1808 - 1897), based on a painting by James Reid Lambdin (1807 - 1889).
