Label TextRuscha accompanied his contribution to this portfolio with lyrical text that links the American Revolution to the slogan in the lithograph and the global marketplace of manufacturing labels it hails from: “Somewhere there should be a stamp or impression (I get the impression) that America has made herself. And isn’t she her best product?” - ER
