In the Edward Ruscha catalog raisonne, the following comment appears: "Lorillard, a division of Loews Theatres, Inc., commissioned twelve artists to create prints for a portfolio commemorating the United States' bicentennial. According to the catalogue published to accompany the portfolio, each artist was free to choose his or her subject, with the stipulation that the work answer the question, "What does independence mean to me?" In the response he wrote to accompany his contribution, Ruscha observed, "Somewhere there should be a stamp or impression (I get the impression) that America has made herself. And isn't she her best product?" Other artists represented in the portfolio are Will Barnet, Colleen Browning, Audrey Flack, Red Grooms, Joseph Hirsch, Robert Indiana, Alex Katz, Jacob Lawrence, Marisol (Escobar), larry Rivers, and Fritz Scholder." (Their work is included in the permanent collection of the Memorial Art Gallery.)

Drawing
For a year, this drawing resided in the home of Vice President and Mrs. Walter Mondale, part of a group of 75 works of art from museums in the Northeast borrowed for the official residence on the grounds of the Naval Observatory in Washington. In a letter dated April 26, 1979, Joan Mondale wrote to Director John Mahey, “Having spent many of my working years in museums, I know that lending works of art brings mixed feelings—the pleasure of sharing, pride that the work has been sought, and the apprehension for one’s treasures. Be assured, your generosity in loaning works to the Vice President’s House is gratefully appreciated.” (Did Mrs. Mondale know that Pop artist Ed Ruscha’s lover was named Ultra Violet?)
