EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the first printing of the Constitution, a monumental historical document that shaped the United States of America. Printed by Dunlap & Claypoole in September 1787, this lithograph is an extraordinary piece of American history. Measuring 50x30 cm and part of the Gilder Lehrman Collection in New York, it holds immense significance. Only two known copies exist, with the other residing at the Library of Congress. The inscription on page one reads "Doctor John Hampton" while page four bears the inscription "John Thos. /Daniel". These inscriptions add a personal touch to this remarkable artifact. The poster-like appearance and broadside format make this print visually striking. It serves as a reminder of Philadelphia's role as a hub for legal and governmental affairs during that era. The image evokes feelings of patriotism and admiration for those who fought to establish a democratic nation. As an engraving from the 18th century, it transports viewers back in time to witness firsthand how our founding principles were put into writing. This print not only preserves history but also allows us to reflect on our shared heritage and appreciate its enduring relevance. Bridgeman Images has expertly captured this significant piece from Fine Art Finder, ensuring its beauty can be appreciated by all who encounter it.
