An exceedingly rare printing of the Declaration of Independence is coming to #SothebysNewYork: The July 1776 Essex Broadside. One of the earliest printings of America’s founding text and attributed to Robert Luist Fowle of Exeter, this Goodspeed’s-Sang-Streeter copy is one of thirteen broadsides of the Declaration of Independence issued in 1776. Only 10 examples of the Essex broadside are known to exist, with the majority today being held by prestigious institutional collections. Coming to the auction block in a dedicated standalone sale during our Visions of America week, presented in partnership with cadillac, with an estimate of $2 - 4 million, it’s poised to join the ranks of the most valuable founding documents ever sold at auction.
