Reproduction of the original draft of the Declaration of Independence, marked up with changes made when it was being drafted. Includes images of the signers around the border.
Note: The upper left-hand corner is missing the image of John Hancock. We have searched extensively and not been able to find a scan of the original document that includes the upper left-hand corner with the image of Alexander Hamilton.
If you know of one, we'll gladly thank you with a $100 gift certificate to The History List Store once we have a link to high-resolution scan that is not copyrighted.
If you have an original we can buy or know if an original that is available for purchase, please let me know

Size: 22" x 30"
The original was 43.6” x 55”. We chose the smaller size since it is more practical for most people (cost, wall space, cost of frame).
This print matches the size of our exquisite John Binn's engraving of the "Declaration of Independence." When framed together, these two prints will create a striking display in any room.
Created and published by Kurz & Allison, c1896
