The kite in the thunderstorm is the story everyone knows, and historians still argue about whether he actually flew it. What is not in doubt is the lightning rod that came out of the work, which he refused to patent on the grounds that useful things should belong to everybody. Franklin ran a print shop, built a postal service, talked France into a war, and never once became president. The man contained a great deal. Some of it was smoke. For people who do their best thinking sideways.

A Benjamin Franklin graphic tee for history readers, science fans, and anyone whose best ideas arrive off the clock. Franklin in spectacles and a colonial coat, kite string in one hand and something rolled and lit in the other. A gift for history buffs, printers, tinkerers, and the pleasantly unbothered.
