June 1752. Benjamin Franklin flies a kite into a thunderstorm with a key tied to the string, to prove that lightning is electricity. It worked. History records that he drew sparks off that key with his knuckle. It doesn’t record what he said next. We have a pretty good guess.
The design is a vintage colonial silhouette of Franklin braced against the storm, complete with stockings and buckle shoes, his kite and key overhead.
Above it sits the quote the history books left out, in an old-style typeface that would look at home in Franklin’s own print shop.
Made for history buffs, science teachers, electricians, Fourth of July cookouts, and anyone who’s learned something the hard way.
