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. Payne then fled to Paris to escape prosecution for treason and there wrote The Age of Reason - winning notoriety for his promotion of reason and free thinking and his arguing against institutionalised religion and Christian doctrine. He returned to America in 1802 but died in poverty. Engraving by William Sharp (1749 - 1824), based on a 1792 painting by artist George Romney (1734 - 1802).
