History of the Declaration of Independence
Jefferson preserved a four page copy, late in his life it was called the “Original Rough Draft”. The Declaration was first published as a broadside printed the night of July 4 by John Dunlap of Philadelphia. After the War of 1812, the symbolic stature of the Declaration steadily increased even though the engrossed copy's ink was noticeably fading.
