To celebrate Independence Day, Harper’s is selling a series of Americana-related pieces: two different versions of the Apotheosis of Washington, a homemade picture of the Statue of Freedom that tops the dome of the U. S. Capitol, and five documents of freedom:
- A handwritten copy of the Declaration of Independence by Thomas Jefferson, with alterations by Benjamin Franklin
- An early printed draft of the Constitution owned by George Washington, with his notes in holograph
- The engrossed copy of the Bill of Rights (12 amendments, only 10 of which were approved)
- Francis Scott Key’s manuscript copy of The Star Spangled Banner
- Abraham Lincoln’s handwritten copy of the Emancipation Proclamation
All are priced quite reasonably. Stop on by my in-world store and take a look!
