1776 "Join, or Die" Revolutionary War flag with 13 colonies, snake & no colors by Benjamin Franklin Cutting Board

A segmented serpent in black ink coils across a cream ground, each section labeled with colonial initials, while bold text reads "JOIN, or DIE" along the right edge. The composition echoes Benjamin Franklin's famous 1754 political cartoon, rendered in a classical woodcut style within a double-lined border that evokes aged parchment and Revolutionary-era print traditions. Crafted from bamboo and made to order, with a drilled hole so it hangs on the wall as easily as it works on the counter. A kitchen essential carrying an independent artist's work, not a blank block from the big-box aisle.
