c. 1876, Advertising Broadside: "1776-1876 Centennial Memorial" Declaration of Independence, Copyrighted by James D. McBride, Engraved and Printed by the Continental Publishing Co., Philadelphia, PA. This detailed document celebrates the United States' centennial by reproducing the Declaration of Independence and its facsimile signatures. 19.5" x 14.5", printed in black on thin, cream-colored paper. Atop is the image of an eagle flanked by American flags. In the lower left-hand corner is the Department of the Interior's seal and a facsimile signature by the Secretary of the Interior, certifying that this is a "Fac.Simile of the original..." Very light age toning and numerous storage folds, but in otherwise very nice condition. This impressive piece was printed by the Continental Publishing Company of Philadelphia as a Centennial Memorial to the signing of the Declaration of Independence. In the lower right-hand corner is an advertisement for "Ettlinger Bros., The Largest and Most Reliable Clothing House in Adams County... Quincy, Ill." Interestingly, a tiny notice at the bottom of the broadside offers a plate paper version with a red seal and no advertising panel--for only one dollar!
