Centennial Broadside of The Declaration of Independence

(DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE).
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, Choice Extremely Fine+. 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 storage folds with one tiny 1/8 inch hole, but in otherwise very nice condition. This impressive piece was printed by the Columbian Publishing Company, 16 Nassau St., New York as a Centennial Memorial to the signing of the Declaration of Independence. In the lower right-hand corner is an advertisement for "Baltimore & Ohio Railroad." 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 50-cents!
