This wonderful picture collage salutes that great moment in American History when President George Washington defined religious freedom for the new Republic. Despite the Bill of Rights guarantying religious freedom, there was uncertainty how this would be enforced by the new government under President Washinton. The members of the Touro Synagogue of Newport Rhode Island wrote a letter to Washington seeking his opinion on the subject. Washington\'s reply made it clear that the federal government would protect the religious rights of its citizens. Thecollage features apicture of Washington and the key words of his reply to the Touro Synagogue. Highlighting the collage is the First Day Cover of the stamp issued to honor Touro Synagogue for its role in this chapter of American history.On the day a stamp is issued, it is only available in the city where it is issued and the Post Office certifies this by canceling the stamp “First Day of Issue.” This stamp was issued inNewport. RIA great collectible for anyhistorybuff.

The size of this matted picture is 11\" x 14\" and will fit any 11\" x 14\" inch frame. (a standard size).

I make all these collages by hand. As a history buff as well as a lover of old movies and all types of sports, the key to each picture is the research behind it. Deciding what movies should go with a particular star or what game or series would best reflect a certain sports hero is crucial to a successful collage. I then design each picture individually and lay out the design on the mat. Finally, I cut each mat based on that design and assemble the collage.
