Eagle, Samuel McIntyre, 1786
The eagle, particuarly the bald eagle, is a symbol for America. It has classical beginnings as a symbol for Jupiter, the king of the Greek and Roman gods, and has always been a powerful symbol because of the majesty of the bird. This eagle was origionally outside a house in Salem, added with a renovation, probably added so the owners of the building could express their patriotism in the post-Revolution era.
