《独立宣言》:据W. J. 斯通铜版制作的福尔斯版画(约1833年) 一幅引人注目的《独立宣言》宣纸版画,尺寸24.5 x 28,于1833年根据斯通的铜版印制,收录于彼得·福尔斯的《美国档案》中。《独立宣言》开篇名句为:“1776年7月4日,于国会。 美利坚十三州的一致宣言。”作品经精美裱衬并装框,整体尺寸为33×37。品相极佳,仅有不显眼的交叉折痕(原版特征)、少量轻微褶皱及淡微的移印痕迹。 到1820年,由于处理和保存不当,原始《独立宣言》已严重损毁,因此迫切需要制作一份复制品。受约翰·昆西·亚当斯委托,威廉·J·斯通通过直接从原件上提取墨迹,刻制了一块铜版,制作出了完美的复制品。 他印制了201份后,便将铜版存放起来以确保安全。 后来,彼得·福斯受国会委托,印制了一套以美国建国文献为内容的书籍——现称为《美国档案》。 为此,斯通的铜版画被从仓库中取出,用于在宣纸上制作新副本,这些副本左下角刻有“W.J. Stone S.C. Washn.”字样,以此与原件区分。这些《独立宣言》的复制品后来被折叠起来,收录在该书第五系列的第一卷中。 印刷完成后,这块版再次被封存,现与《独立宣言》原件一同保存在国家档案馆。 国会批准印刷1500份《美国档案》,但这一精装版的订阅情况不尽如人意,最终发行量远低于预期——可能仅有500份。其中大部分被折叠后装订成第五系列第一卷。这是一份品相极佳且备受追捧的珍品。
