Constitution, first printing - A Rare Glimpse into America's Founding Document
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases the historic Constitution, first printing, printed by Dunlap & Claypoole in September 1787. Measuring 50x30 cm, this remarkable piece is part of the prestigious Gilder Lehrman Collection in New York City. Considered a national treasure, this particular copy is one of only two known to exist; the other resides at the Library of Congress. The inscription on page one reads "Doctor John Hampton" while page four bears the name "John Thos. /Daniel". These personal touches add an intriguing layer to its historical significance. The image captures not just a document but also a pivotal moment in American history. This poster-like broadside was instrumental in shaping the United States as we know it today. It symbolizes the birth of a nation founded on principles of liberty and democracy. As we gaze upon this engraving from Bridgeman Images, we are reminded of how far our country has come since those early days when Pennsylvania played host to such monumental events. The Constitution represents more than just words on paper; it embodies our collective aspirations for justice and equality under law. Let us cherish this visual representation of our shared heritage and reflect on the enduring power that lies within these pages.
