Very rare facsimile copy of first printing of The Declaration of Independence, 15.75 x 19.5, printed by R.R. Donnelly & Sons Company, recreated from a first Dunlap broadside printing of the Declaration of Independence. On the reverse at the lower margin is printed, "Facsimile Reproduced by R.R. Donnelley & Sons Company, The Lakeside Press from the original owned by Ira G. Corn, Jr. and Joseph P. Driscoll." John Dunlap made the first copies of the Declaration of Independence on the night of July 4, 1776. One of the handful of surviving copies was purchased by Ira G. Corn, Jr. and Joseph P. Driscoll at auction for $404,000 in 1970, and facsimile copies were commissioned through the R.R. Donnelley & Sons Company, The Lakeside Press. A limited set of facsimiles were made with every detail from the type of paper to the type of printing being as faithful as possible to the original. In very good condition, with scattered toning and foxing and toning along original folds.
