A visually stunning and profoundly accessible edition of the U.S. Constitution—hand-lettered and illustrated by master calligrapher Sam Fink—inviting readers of all ages to rediscover the foundation of American democracy.
This edition is the perfect way to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the Constitution and reflect on the values that continue to shape our nation and makes for a meaningful and timeless gift.
In 1787, a bold new system of government was born. And in 1791, the Bill of Rights enshrined the freedoms we now hold most dear: the right to speak freely, to worship as we choose, to be secure in our homes, and to receive a fair and public trial. These rights—and many more—are preserved in the Constitution of the United States of America, our nation's most enduring and vital document.
In this one-of-a-kind keepsake edition, acclaimed artist and calligrapher Sam Fink brings the Constitution to life with vibrant illustrations and expressive hand-lettering. Every article, every amendment, every word is rendered with clarity, insight, and a touch of playfulness, making this complex historical record accessible and engaging for modern readers.
Featuring Benjamin Franklin's stirring address to the Constitutional Convention and Fink's distinctive visual storytelling, this edition is both a celebration of American ideals and a call to civic engagement. Whether you're a student, a teacher, a voter, or simply a curious citizen, this book offers a powerful reminder: to protect our rights, we must first understand them.
Originally published in 1987, this unique rendering of our nation's most consequential text is as relevant and essential today as at any time in our history.
