Note that this is thousands of dollars less than the identical print on offer now through a well-known dealer. Last year I was alerted by a friend in New York City to a very unusual print. After I got it I took it to a conservator with decades and decades of experience with paper conservation.   Several weeks and several hundreds of dollars later I had it back in my hands and made a solid wood frame for it.  When I went to look for more information on it, I was surprised that there was no scan of it online at the Library of Congress or at the other major libraries with large digital collections. What’s unusual about the print? Its from that period when all sorts of calligraphic images were created, but none I’ve seen like this one, in which the text of Declaration of Independence is written out with thick and thin lines making the portrait of George Washington, who is surrounded by the seals of 16 states. This places it toward the end of the Civil War. Created by W.H. Pratte of Davenp
