This digital gallery was created by the Center for Digital Scholarship.
This graph contextualizes a selection of digitized cartoons, portraits, and broadsides from the Colonel Richard Gimbel Collection of Thomas Paine Papers.
The reception, reputation, and reactions to Paine are charted in Joining the Fray: Mapping a World of Paine. Particular attention is paid to the printers and publishers who often risked their safety to make these works available, as well as the members of extra-parliamentary associations demanding reform in the age of Paine.
The items represented in this gallery were digitized and described by Alina Josan, during the Spring 2015 APS Digital Library Internship.
The gallery is built with the JavaScript InfoVis Toolkit, and was constructed by Scott Ziegler, Web Development Librarian, and Alina Josan.
Additional assistance with biographical research was supplied by Wendy Wong, Ph.D.
