520    Examines the many facets of America's most extraordinary 
       founding father. Politician, diplomat, scientist, printer,
       and civic improver, Franklin influenced every aspect of 
       American life, from his own time to the present. This book,
       designed to accompany the traveling Benjamin Franklin 
       Tercentenary exhibition celebrating Franklin's 300th 
       birthday, includes essays by ten prominent scholars that 
       offer an overview of Franklin's life and cover the full 
       range of his interests and achievements, illustrated by 
       more than 265 color images--portraits, manuscripts, 
       drawings, maps, paintings, engravings, and a plethora of 
       Franklin's possessions, from teacups to printing 
       equipment.--From publisher description.
