Description
This a one of a kind poster reproduction of "The Swearing In" by Jacob Lawrence. When describing "The Swearing In," Jacob Lawrence explained, "Because President Carter said he wanted this event to be a "People's Inauguration," my focus was on the people watching. Not the people up front in the privileged seats, but the people in the back, up in the trees, trying to get a good view. These were the people applauding the most. These were the people who were the most important ingredient in the inauguration." The original print date of this piece is 1977.
