Gettysburg Address

On June 1, 1865, Senator Charles Sumner commented on what is now considered the most famous speech by President Abraham Lincoln. In his eulogy on the slain president, he called the speech a "monumental act." He said Lincoln was mistaken that "the world will little note, nor long remember what we say here." Rather, the Bostonian remarked, "The world noted at once what he said, and will never cease to remember it. The battle itself was less important than the speech."

Frame 29x35; Price $219


Desiderata is a well known and widely circulated prose poem written by Max Ehrmann. It is inarguably his best-known work. Written in 1927, it represents a philosophy he had thought out over a lifetime.
During his early adult years he practiced law and helped run various family businesses. At the age of forty-one he retired to devote his life to writing. Ehrmann was concerned with the social problems of his day and the spiritual meaning of life. Toward the end of his life Ehrmann told an interviewer: “I contracted a disease which I have never shaken off. The disease was idealism. Because of it I did the thing in life I wanted to do—writing.”
Reproduced in a variety of books as well as on countless posters, plaques, greeting cards, and even tee-shirts, the message of Desiderata remains timeless and guarantees for Ehrmann a lasting place in the archives of popular literature.

Hippocratic Oath

The Hippocratic Oath is one of the oldest binding documents in history. Written around 400 BC by Hippocrates, a Greek physician, its principles are held sacred by doctors to this day. The Oath of Hippocrates has remained in Western civilization as an expression of the ideal conduct for the physician.
The modern version used for this piece of calligraphy was written in 1964 by Louis Lasagna, Academic Dean of the School of Medicine at Tufts University, and is used in many medical schools today.
