Title A name given to the resource Miniature Portrait of John Jay (1745-1829) Description An account of the resource This miniature Battersea enamelware portrait depicts New York statesman and diplomat John Jay. He participated in both Continental Congresses, helping to draft the “Address to the People of Great Britain,” which justified the American Revolution. After the war, he was elected to the APS and became secretary for foreign affairs. Battersea enamelware is named for the London neighborhood where such pieces, usually showing portraits on small trinkets or jewelry, were originally produced. The portrait was modeled after an often-copied original by Pierre Eugène Du Simitière, an artist, antiquary, and APS member.

Title A name given to the resource Portrait of Benjamin Franklin Description An account of the resource This portrait of Benjamin Franklin highlights his study of ”useful knowledge.” Franklin is surrounded with books, papers and a bust of Sir Isaac Newton, linking Franklin to a distinguished tradition of natural philosophers. While Franklin’s right hand echoes traditional poses of contemplation, the thumb position was uniquely his own. When reading, he was known to rest his elbow on the table and hold his chin with one thumb to keep his spectacles in focus. The original portrait by Scottish artist David Martin now hangs in the White House. Franklin admired the portrait so much that he ordered a copy from Martin for his own home in Philadelphia. Charles Willson Peale made this additional copy, which was presented to the APS in 1785.
