home giftshop Dunlap Broadside of the Declaration of Independence

 

On the night of July 4, 1776, Philadelphia printer John Dunlap created approximately 200 poster-sized copies of our nation’s Declaration of Independence on his handset printing press. The copies were distributed throughout the colonies. New Hampshire’s copy arrived in Exeter on July 16, 1776 and was read aloud to the townspeople by 22-year old John Taylor Gilman. In 1985, this copy was discovered in the attic of the Ladd-Gilman House.

Our quality copies measure 16 x 20” and are mailed in a protective tube. Price: $8.00 plus $1.95 for shipping.
