Description:

From 24th Annual American Independence Festival Website:

Well into the evening of July 4, 1776, Philadelphia printer John Dunlap, the official printer of the Continental Congress, worked diligently at his printing press. His project: turning Thomas Jeffersons handwritten Declaration of Independence into 200 broadsides that were then delivered to the King of England and the American colonies. New Hampshires copy arrived in Exeter, the Revolutionary-era capitol, on July 16, 1776. John Taylor Gilman, 22, read one of Dunlap's Broadsides of the Declaration of Independence to the townspeople of Exeter.
