Thomas Jefferson was an American Founding Father, the principal author of the United States Declaration of Independence, and the third president of the country, preceded by John Adams in 1801 and serving from 1801 to 1809.[1][2][3] Jefferson's most credible and notable decision was to authorise the purchase of the Louisiana State, which doubled the size of the United States.[4] Jefferson died on July 4, 1826, the same day as his predecessor, dying just a few hours before him.[5][6]
Much like other presidents, Jefferson was painted frequently due to cameras not being advanced enough to create permanent photographs; also, at the time, the general public did not know what Jefferson looked like when he ran for president in 1800.[7][8]
