In celebration of the nation’s 250th birthday, Christie’s is pleased to present a special summer auction dedicated to American history, spanning the Revolutionary era to the present day.

Highlights include Paul Revere’s iconic 1770 engraving of the Boston Massacre; Benedict Arnold’s last will and testament; and a remarkable autograph manuscript by John Jay, detailing his diplomatic maneuverings as the first U.S. minister to Spain in the early days of American independence — three works from private American collections that illuminate the drama and legacy of the American story.
