ADAMS - FINE PERIOD INTERIORS AUCTION - Sunday 22nd May 2016 : You can Download a PDF Version from the Bottom Menu Down Arrow Icon

A printed reduced facsimile of the original Proclamation,

closely following the type-style of the original but replacing

imperfections in the type, on a sheet of plain greyish paper

36.8 x 25 cms, the sheet recently rebacked.

This appears to be a copy of what has been described as

the ‘Kansas’ version, since there is a copy in the P.S. O’He-

garty Collection in Kansas. It appears to have been printed

by lithography. Its origin and date is uncertain, but an

extensive analysis on the ‘Typefoundry’ web-page suggests

a date possibly in the 1950s (P.S. O’Hegarty died in 1957).

It is very scarce; the paper is thin and fragile.
