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.

In den Warenkorb1 page, 4to (7.5 x 8.75); inlaid, backed, loss to two words at right edge likely from seal tear, holograph address panel inlaid on verso. Revolutionary War-dated autograph letter to Philadelphia merchant to William Pollard, in full: "We have been favored with your letters of the 30 & 31 ult'o also 20 April. The money you sent by… Mr. Rotch we received agreeable to your list for which please to accept our thanks. Your last letter informs us that you had receiv'd the amount of Kenneer's order which we are glad to he[ar].Mr. Johnston with part of his family sailed f[or] Jamaica a few days before your last was received; you there say you forwarded his and our Letters, (suppose f'm Jamaica) by a Mr. Mitchell of this city, those letters are not yet come to hand. The advices p[er] express from the Eastward has put this City in a violent ferment[;] expresses are forwarded to to [sic] the So[uth]ward with the particulars to which shall reffer [sic] you." Addressed on the reverse in Lewis's hand. Professionally inlaid into a slightly larger sheet and in very good to fine condition, with scattered light staining.On April 23, 1775, a broadside was printed and distributed in New York City, headlined: 'The following interesting Advices were this Day received here by two Vessels from Newport and by an Express by Land.' It contained transcriptions of communications from Rhode Island Supreme Court Chief Justice Stephen Hopkins and other leaders of Providence conveying the first reports of the battles of Lexington and Concord: 'About 1200 of the regular troops have proceeded from Boston toward Concord; and having fired on the inhabitants, and killed a number of them at Lexington, are now actually engaged in butchering and destroying our brethren in the most inhuman manner.'In his 1995 reference History Comes to Life, Kenneth Rendell places Lewis's autograph material into the 'very rare' category among the Signers; as choice example from the dawn of the American Revolution, this is a particularly desirable example.

In den WarenkorbFirst 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.

In den Warenkorb1st 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.

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.

In den WarenkorbVery 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.
