EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant piece of American history - the Declaration of Independence printed by Peter Timothy in Charleston. Dating back to around August 1776, this lithograph is both unrecorded and unique, making it an invaluable artifact. Peter Timothy, the printer to the colony of South Carolina and later to the state of North Carolina, played a crucial role in disseminating news during this pivotal time. The broadside he produced closely follows Dunlap's version but includes minor variations in capitalization, spelling, and punctuation. Measuring 41.8x30 cm, this print showcases Timothy's craftsmanship and attention to detail. It bears endorsements on its verso that further authenticate its historical significance. The Declaration itself was received with great anticipation on August 2nd, spreading throughout Charleston as citizens eagerly absorbed its revolutionary message. This lithograph serves as a tangible link to that momentous occasion. As we gaze upon this image today, we are transported back to the birth of our nation - a time when brave individuals fought for freedom and independence from British rule. It reminds us of the sacrifices made by those who came before us and inspires gratitude for our hard-won liberties. Displayed proudly within the Gilder Lehrman Collection in New York City, this print stands as a testament to America's rich heritage and enduring commitment to democracy. Its presence evokes feelings of patriotism while serving as a reminder that our past shapes our present and future aspirations.
