The Declaration of Independence has been reproduced in countless forms since 1776, and this piece marks a specific moment: the centennial of the nation's founding in 1876, when Americans held large celebrations across the country. Commemorative designs like this one typically combined the text or signers with patriotic emblems and dates, reflecting how the Declaration had become a symbol of national identity by the late nineteenth century. Such memorials were often sold or displayed in homes, schools and public buildings during the Centennial year, making them a window into how Americans chose to remember their founding a century on.
