Style 56 is one of my favorite rubber stamp impression designs when it comes to RubberStampChamp.com’s 55 patriotic and religious stock stamps.

The phrase, “Don’t Tread On Me” is accompanied by a coiled, mouth open, fangs exposed rattle snake, poised to strike on RubberStampChamp.com’s large ‘Don’t Tread on Me’ rubber stamp.

The image, originally published as the first ever political cartoon published in a newspaper in 1751 was a satirical commentary.  A suggested way to thank the British for sending convicted felons to America, send the British rattle snakes.

From that original, the original newspaper cartoon, the phrase ‘Don’t Tread on Me’ has grown into something I’m sure Mr. Franklin could never have imagined in his wildest dreams!

‘Don’t Tread on Me,’ from that cartoon in the Pennsylvania Gazette, to rubber stamps from RubberStampChamp.com.  From satirical commentary to the very definition of patriotic terminology, what a leap!
