People had begun to revere the famous document that declared the nation\'s independence nearly forty years earlier as many of its original signers were aging and dying. The originalDeclaration of Independencewas still available for viewing but only to the privileged. An Irish-born Philadelphia journalist and publisher ofThe Democratic Pressnamed John Binns was one of the first to realize, in June of 1816, the potential market for a \"splendid and correct copy of the Declaration of Independence, with fac-similes of all the signatures, the whole to be encircled with the arms of the thirteen States and of the United States\" (as described in his solicitation for subscribers). He promised delivery in one year, but the enormity of the undertaking delayed publication until 1819 (by which time a competitor, Benjamin Owen Tyler, had rushed a less elaborate facsimile into production). Binns can certainly be given credit for doing quality work; he used as many as five artists at a time to work on the design. He borrowed portraits to copy, gathered models for the thirteen state seals, and even painted the American eagle from life.
