The Declaration of Independence: A History

The original Declaration, now exhibited in the Rotunda for the Charters of Freedom in Washington, DC,
has faded badly—largely because of poor preservation techniques during the 19th century.
Today, this priceless document is maintained under the most exacting archival conditions possible.

Image of the Declaration is taken from the engraving made by printer William J. Stone
in 1823 and is the most frequently reproduced version of the document
