- "The Public Universal Friend," Linocut, circa 2020 - Public Universal Friend (1752-1819) defied societal expectations as a genderless Quaker minister. Although assigned female at birth, the Friend assumed their new identity following a 1776 religious epiphany and began preaching across the northeast United States. In 2019, 200 years after the Friend’s death, their life story was spread across social media, and they became emblematic of early American LBGTQIA+ history.

- Engraving, "Henry W. Longfellow in His Library at Craigie House, Cambridge," 1882 - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807-1882) was the most beloved American poet of the 19th century. Longfellow's poems appealed to mid-19th-century Americans from all classes. Many of his poems centered around American themes and topics--though he often took poetic license to depart from the facts to create an effect. Years after Longfellow's death, his poetry--recited at civic celebrations and studied in school rooms--continued to inspire.

- "The County Election," 1854 - Reforms in most states expanded the American electorate in the mid-nineteenth century. By 1840, nearly 80 percent of adult white males headed eagerly to the polls. Election day could be an unruly affair, with candidates and campaigners soliciting support at polling locations. Votes were often cast by voice or paper ballot and recorded -- in public -- by local officials.
