Artist's rendition of the
signing of the Constitution, in Philadelphia. This painting by Howard
Chandler Christy, which hangs in the U.S. Capitol, captures the spirit
of the historic event. At Independence National Historical Park, the
National Park Service has accurately restored the room. (Courtesy, Office of the Architect of the Capitol; color
