No close family anniversaries. In Philadelphia, on this date in 1787, delegates to the Constitutional Convention signed the United States Constitution. At top, painting by Howard Chandler Christie (1940). Christie carefully researched old portraits, in order to create the best possible likeness of the delegates. Happy Constitution Day!
