Launched exclusively by Pascoe and Company in a limited edition of 250. Thomas Jefferson was the 3rd President of the United States and the principal author of the Declaration of Independence. He advocated the rights of the individual, autonomy of the separate states and a strictly limited federal government. This ideal was summarized in his emotive words ‘Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness’. Major events during his presidency from 1801-9 include the Louisiana Purchase which doubled the size of the U.S and the Lewis and Clark expedition. Jefferson was a polymath and achieved distinction in many fields, including as an architect, an author and as the founder of the University of Virginia. HN5241 Height: 11 ¼ inches
