A facsimile of the Declaration of Independence set beside engraved portraits of its signers puts the document's authors back into view as men rather than names. The Declaration was adopted by the Second Continental Congress in Philadelphia on July 4, 1776, and most delegates signed the engrossed copy in the following weeks, though the signing stretched over several months. Printed facsimiles like this one were a popular way to share the text in the 19th century, when many Americans wanted to see the faces behind the words of the founding document.
