Didactic Images and the Declaration of Independence.
Tigner, Steven S.
Journal of Education, v175 n1 p85-104 1993
Analyzes John Trumbull's documentary painting, "The Declaration of Independence," for its didactic importance. The painting actually represents the moment in which the declaration is presented to the Second Continental Congress, rather than the signing of the document. The historic and visual importance of the work for educators is explored. (SLD)
