February 2023: Down With The Monarchy

While walking the streets of Philadelphia, learning the history of where our country began, I was struck by a famous Ben Franklin replica sculpture at Library Hall that shows Ben yielding a scepter pointing down - where Franklin felt monarchies were headed. The message below him:

"Down With The Monarchy."

I knew then and there this message would be the first in our mag subscription.

The same message that laid the foundation for our country begins our collection.
