EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph captures a pivotal moment in American history - the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Taken in Charleston on August 2,1776, this print showcases the iconic document that would shape the future of a nation. The litho, created by an anonymous American artist from the 18th century, measures at 41.8x30 cm and is part of the Gilder Lehrman Collection in New York. What makes this particular print unique is its unrecorded nature and endorsement on verso. Peter Timothy, printer to both South Carolina and later North Carolina colonies, played a significant role in disseminating news about the Declaration. His broadside closely follows Dunlap's version with minor variations in capitalization, spelling, and punctuation. As we gaze upon this historic artifact, we are reminded of America's fight for independence during the Revolutionary War. The Continental Congress bravely declared their separation from British rule through this powerful document. This lithograph serves as a testament to our country's rich heritage and symbolizes the birth of a new nation founded on principles such as liberty and equality. It stands as an enduring reminder of our shared past and continues to inspire generations with its profound significance. Through this image captured by Bridgeman Images for Fine Art Finder, we can appreciate not only its artistic value but also its historical importance as it immortalizes one of America's most cherished documents - The Declaration of Independence.
