This is so cool but I have to let it go now..
New York: Samuel H. Black, ca. 1859. Large ornate and decorative copper plaque, printed in relief with the full text of the Declaration of Independence at top, a history at bottom titled, "Battle Role of the Revolution," with a summary of Presidents from George Washington to James Buchanan, and with four central medallions depicting John Trumbull's famous painting of the Declaration, the front and back of the "Washington Before Boston Medal," and facsimile signatures of all the Signers of the Declaration. Lightly worn, small patches of oxidation.
Framed in the 1920's note the 4 digit phone number from the framer on the back.
Each of the four corners include round vignette medallions with a rendition of Feuctwanger's defiant American Eagle, the head of "Liberty" taken from the Libertas Americana Medal, an American Flag, and a Union Shield beneath an All-Seeing Eye. A most impressive American coin and medal collector's display piece
