".The Declaration of Independence, one of the bravest documents in human history. No plea for reform, it demanded a divorce for the "Free and Independent States." Creating a brand new nation, the delegates, all white and all men, put everything at risk. Men of property, well educated and powerful, they knew full well that by signing it, they stood to lose everything, their property, their families, their very lives if the Declaration and their mission failed. Hauntingly, Dr. Armitage includes a section that the delegates deleted. Here Jefferson speaks of the horrors of slavery, charging that the George III '. . . waged cruel war against human nature itself . . . Determined to keep open a market where MEN should be bought & sold . . . '" (From the publisher) LEC Bibliography. HBS 69353. $2,500. Signed.

DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE (illustrator). First edition, first issue of Volume II of the Journals of Congress with the rare Aitken imprint and the first Congressional printing of the Declaration of Independence (found on pages 241-246). Aiken took over the printing of the Journals from Bradford before the 1776 Bradford edition had reached the printing of the Declaration of Independence, thus making this the first. Octavo (8 3/4 x 5 1/2 inches; 222 x 140 mm). [2], 513, [22, index], [1, blank] pp. Rebacked in old quarter parchment over contemporary drab boards. Pages uncut. Boards with some minor wear. Pages with some occasional and expected toning. Overall a very good copy. "Robert Aitken was licensed by Congress to publish the Journals on 26 September 1776. Volume I of the series comprised reprints of his "Cartridge Paper" edition, the monthly issues which covered the first four months of 1776; the present volume II included the first publication of the June-December Journals, and came off the press the following year. According to Aitken, 532 copies were printed, but when Congress had to flee from Philadelphia in the autumn of 1777 Aitken's press was lost and many copies were seemingly left behind and destroyed by the British.The volume records some of the most tumultuous events of the Revolution, and the text of the Declaration appears in full, with the names of the signers, on pages 241-246." (From Bonhams). In March of 1776, after the printers the Bradfords of Philadelphia's work of printing the previous transcripts of Congress were deemed unsatisfactory, "Robert Aitken now makes his first appearance upon the scene as a printer of Congressional proceedings. Beginning the work where the Bradfords left off, and without express order of Congress other than such sanction as he may have received from their printing committee, he published the Journals in monthly subdivisions from January to May, 1776, inclusive. Aitken had now found favor in the eyes of Congress, and on September 26, 1776 the committee appointed to superintend the publication of the Journals were instructed to employ him to reprint the Journals from the beginning, with all possible expedition, and to continue to print the same. The Congress agreed to purchase of him five hundred copies when printed, and Aitken was further directed to purchase from the Bradfords, on reasonable terms and at the expense of Congress, such parts of the Journal as they had printed but had not yet published. In pursuance of this order and under the supervision of the printing committee, Aitken, in the spring of 1777, issued what he termed a "New Edition" of the Journal of Congress in two volumes; the first containing the proceedings for 1774 and 1775 and the second those of 1776. This became the authoritative edition for those years and has always been followed whenever reprinted." (The Journals and Papers of the Continental Congress By Herbert Friedenwald, pg 15-17). Pp.1-424 were later reissued as part of: 'Journals of Congress. . Volume II'. York-Town [Pennsylvania], printed by John Dunlap, 1778. The Aitken imprint of this present copy is far more rare.

Varying in size from a few lines to a column nineteen inches in length, and on aged high-acidity paper. In good condition, though frail, and with a few closed tears. Texts clear and complete. In the remains of a stamped envelope (postmarked Philadelphia, 21 February 1912), addressed to E. H. Lauer of the Cadmus Book Company. Fewer than half the items are dated. The dated items include a long and interesting article on a forgotten English-born Philadelphian forger, headed 'A FORGER OF AUTOGRAPHS. | ROBERT SPRING'S SUCCESS IN BOLD LITERARY FRAUDS. | His Speciality Was the Signatures of Early American Patriots, and His Forgeries Are Treasured by Many a Collector - An Autograph of Pontius Pilate Made by Him.'

Broadside, 29½ x 25 inches, printed on thin paper. The Declaration of Independence, the foundation document of the United States, has been printed myriad times since its original publication in 1776. At first as broadsides, then as an essential addition to any volume of laws, it was from the beginning a basic work in the American canon. The present document is from one of the earliest broadside reproductions of the Declaration, done within a few years of the first broadside republications. In the period following the War of 1812, Americans began to look back, for the first time with historical perspective, on the era of the founding of the country. The republic was now forty years old, and the generation of the American Revolution, including the signers of the Declaration, was dropping away. With nostalgia and curiosity, many Americans began to examine the details of the nation's founding. Among other things, such documents as the debates of the Constitutional Convention were published for the first time. It seemed extraordinary that the Declaration of Independence, as created, was unknown to Americans, when the text was so central to the national ego. Several entrepreneurs set out to bridge this gap by printing reproductions of the document, often featuring calligraphic text, portraits, or other decorative flourishes. The most accurate of these early reproductions was an official facsimile, sponsored by Secretary of State John Quincy Adams and created by William J. Stone in 1823. Stone made an exact facsimile of the Declaration (then kept in the State Department), printed actual size on both parchment and paper. Bidwell calls this facsimile "a magnificent replica," and it is from this facsimile (likely from Stone's original printing plate) that Peter Force made the present facsimile of the Declaration of Independence, printed between 1843 and 1848 and published in the fifth series of his American Archives. It is an exact facsimile of the actual Declaration, on a slightly smaller scale, accurately reproducing the restrained force of the original document. A most desirable, attractive, and scarce facsimile of the Declaration of Independence. John Bidwell, "American History in Image and Text" in Proceedings of the American Antiquarian Society, Vol. 98, 1988, pp.247-302 (also issued as a separate pamphlet by AAS), item 7 (note) Expert archival reinforcements along folds on verso. Framed Broadside, 29½ x 25 inches, printed on thin paper.

First printing on paper of the first official facsimile of the founding document of the United States, preceded only by the printing on vellum for private distribution. The facsimile was commissioned by Secretary of State John Quincy Adams in 1820. Two entrepreneurs, John Binns and Benjamin Owen Tyler, had recently independently produced their own cruder facsimiles. Quincy Adams desired an official and accurate facsimile made directly from the original. He hired the Washington printer William J. Stone, who spent three years creating the plate. Stone used the wet ink transfer method - the original document was moistened and pressed to transfer the ink onto the plate, which was then engraved directly. This procedure removed much of the ink from the original document and caused considerable degradation of the paper, leading to its near-illegibility by the middle of the 19th century. The plate was completed in June 1823 and sold to the State Department, who that year printed 200 copies on vellum and distributed them to official repositories, prominent individuals, and the few surviving signers of the Declaration. In 1833, the State Department authorized a second printing from the historian and printer Peter Force. These copies were to be inserted into the publication known as the American Archives, a 20-volume compilation of legislative records and documents. Force erased the original imprint from the plate and printed it on fine rice paper as close in colour and texture to the original parchment as possible. Because the original document is now so deteriorated (in part due to the method by which the engraving was made), it is Stone's engraving which is commonly used, often silently, where the Declaration is illustrated in books and media. Broadside (753 x 640 mm) on rice paper, mounted and framed with conservation-standard acrylic glazing. Folds and slight offsetting where formerly inserted into book as issued, a few splits along folds and extremities, light creasing, very discreet restoration to closed tears at foot. A very good copy.

Oblong folio. One-page, approximately 125 words. Old fold lines, but very good.

1st Edition. Good. Repaired tear extending from right margin near 'Surrender of Lee' about 5 inches into the page. Size 17 x 26.75 Inches. An impressive 1876 first edition broadside published by Daniel Titus Ames to celebrate the centennial. Likely made for the 1876 Philadelphia Centennial Exposition, the view promotes Manifest Destiny - the idea of American social and pollical power spreading westward across the continent. A Closer Look The broadside consists of two oval windows: the left features the Declaration of Independence and a portrait of Washington, and the right the Emancipation Proclamation and a portrait of Abraham Lincoln. The full text of both documents is contained within, written in the 19th-century calligraphic style known as 'engrossing', one of Ames' specialties. These windows are surrounded by elaborate floral-motive decoration and 22 vignettes illustrating important moments in American history. Views of Pittsburgh Two central bird's-eye views illustrate Pittsburgh, where the confluence of the Allegheny and Monongahela Rivers form the Ohio. The upper view is dated 1776, exhibiting forest. The lower view, depicting 1876, presents a bustling city and gateway to the west. Some collection catalogers have suggested these views represent Philadelphia, but this is definitively not the case. Not only do they not resemble Philadelphia, but it was already a large and prosperous city in 1776. The use of Pittsburgh underscores the 'manifest destiny' title banner just above 'Westward the Course of Empire Takes its Way.' Publication History and Census This view was published in 1876 by Daniel T. Ames. It was issued in several formats, including a double-sized edition with chromolithograph shading published sometime later by W. Welke and James Miller. The present example, bearing only the Ames imprint, is the first edition. This view was most likely produced for sale at the 1876 Philadelphia Centennial Exposition, and the elaborate buildings behind the title are likely the exposition halls. The view is scarce. Institutional collection records indicate one example at Yale, and another at the Newberry, both the Welke/Miller second edition. We note just one example on the market in the last 20 years.

Very good. Stabilized on verso with archival tissue. Size 27 x 20.5 Inches. This is a large 1856 Gilman R. Russell commemorative broadside of the Declaration of Independence. It consists of a two-color lithograph with the text of the Declaration appearing in finely executed calligraphy around an image of George Washington. The text is surrounded by a wreath of acanthus leaves, and surmounted by a title banner and a powerful eagle. The broadside was published on the 80th anniversary of the Declaration's signing. It served both as an income-generating patriotic image for sale to the general public, and as a promotion for Russell's penmanship and calligraphy classes. Publication History and Census This broadside was designed by Gilman R. Russell, printed by J. H. Bufford, and published by William H. Fisk. It is scarce. We note examples at the New Hampshire Historical Society, the Boston Athenaeum, the University of Virginia, the Maharishi International University, and the the University of Cambridge. Scarce to the market. References: OCLC 52687159. New Hampshire Historical Society, S 1997.553.09.

Very good. Accompanied by frame. Size 2.5 x 7.25 Inches. This is an 1893 Stevengraph Works woven silk view of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. The view depicts the Continental Congress in Philadelphia signing the Declaration of Independence, with Thomas Jefferson standing in the foreground in a black coat flanked by other members of the Congress. There is some confusion over which painting acts as the view's inspiration, but most believe it to be John Trumbull's monumental painting, which currently hangs in the rotunda of the United States Capitol Building. The silk itself measures 2.5 x 7.25 inches. It is mounted on its original board, which bears the inscription 'Woven in pure silk at the Columbian Exposition, Chicago, 1893, by the Stevengraph Works, Coventry, England. Stevengraphs Stevengraphs were invented by Thomas Stevens (1828 - October 24, 1888) after the ribbon weaving industry in Coventry, England collapsed following the signing of the Cobden-Chevalier Treaty. Stevens used his experience and expertise with the Jacquard loom to weave colorful pictures in silk. He had four designs in production by 1862 and over 900 by the late 1880s. They were sold as bookmarks, greeting cards, and, eventually, framed pieces of art. Stevengraphs fell out of fashion in the early 20th century, but experienced a brief resurgence during the 1930s Victoriana trend. The Stevengraph factory was destroyed by Nazi bombers during the Coventry Blitz of November 14, 1940. It was believed all of Stevens' records were also lost at that time. However, in the late 1950s, Henry Stephens, one of Thomas Stevens's descendants, revealed that he had saved one of the company's pattern books the night before the factory's destruction. Today that pattern book is part of the collection at the Herbert Art Gallery and Museum. The Columbian Exposition The 1893 Columbian Exposition or Chicago World's Fair was a pivotal moment in the history of the United States. Chicago won the right to host the World's Fair over New York, Washington D.C., and St. Louis. During its six-month run, nearly 27,000,000 people, roughly half the population of the United States at that time, attended the fair. Its numerous displays and exhibits established conventions for architecture, design, and decorative arts, in addition to initiating a new era of American industrial optimism. The layout and design of the fair was the work of Daniel Burnham and Frederick Law Olmsted, the genius behind New York City's Central Park and Brooklyn's Prospect Park, among others. Most of the fair was designed in the Beaux Arts tradition, a popular movement in Paris that was quickly gaining global momentum. In the years following the fair, this influential architectural style redefined the cityscape of Chicago, Boston, New York, and many other prominent American cities. Publication History and Census This view was created by the Stevengraph Works at the Columbian Exposition in Chicago in 1893. It is accompanied by its original board, which measures 9 x 6 inches, as well as its original frame, which measures 11.25 x 14.25 inches. This view is scarce on the market and is not cataloged in OCLC.
