What you see below is not merely a simple reproduction
of The Declaration of Independence, but a historical, authentic bicentennial
document, that is itself over 30 years old. It was created in 1976, and
was based on a colour reproduction of John Binns 1819 ornamental print
depicting George Washington, John Hancock, Thomas Jefferson and the then
13 original colonies that made up the Continental Congress.
This is a real document, created & authenticated
in 1976, with real postage stamps franked, and hand stamped on both sides
of the Atlantic, on the same day, to commemorate the bicentennial of the adoption of
the Declaration of Independence on 4th July 1776
Added along the bottom of this impressive document are actual commemorative
stamps purchased and franked both in London (near the Houses of Parliament)
and in
The Benjamin Franklin Post Office in Philadelphia on the 4th July 1976
(only 1976 documents were created in the UK, hand stamped and flown 3000
miles, on the same day, (the UK is 5 hrs behind US time) to be authentically franked in the United States of America)
The actual size of the document
is 40 cms wide x 60 cms high, and can be purchased & safely delivered to you for far less
than you might imagine. This is your chance to own a Limited Edition
