"The Declaration of Independence of the United States of America, July 4th, 1776" Engraving after Trumbull

"The Declaration of Independence of the United States of America, July 4th, 1776" Engraving after Trumbull

$4,200.00

A 19th century engraving of the "The Declaration of Independence of the United States of America, July 4th, 1776," after the famous original painting by John Trumbull depicting the moment on June 28, 1776, when the first draft of the Declaration of Independence was presented to the Second Continental Congress. 

Engraved by W.L. Ormsby after Asher Durand.  This is the engraving you want. And ours is in very good condition and it is a Proof, as indicated in the lower right.

It includes a small key in the bottom border identifying each member of Congress pictured.

Three notes on condition:

  • There is a pin hole that is only noticeable when pointed out. It is in the upper right, and I've included a close up. No one will see it, only you, since I've pointed it out.
  • The glass is original and old and has character.
  • The frame is also old and in tough shape—or, it's perfect, depending on how you look it.
