Abraham
Lincoln 's The Emancipation Proclamation, 1863 frame
(Two Sheets)
President Abraham
Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863,
as the nation approached its third year of bloody civil war.
The proclamation declared "that all persons held as slaves"
within the rebellious states "are, and henceforward shall be
free. Although the Emancipation Proclamation did not immediately
free a single slave, it captured the hearts and imagination
of millions of African Americans, and fundamentally transformed
the character of the war from a war for the Union into a war
for freedom. "
All documents
are reproduced on special fine paper that have a mottled finish
and varied surface similar to that of the genuine documents
of history. The documents are manufactured from cellulose
fibers with sulfuric acid to enhanced the look and feel of
the original. In addition, they are treated with sulphite
pulp so the "old-antiqued" look is apparent. We
offer only high quality replica documents of US history that
look and feel very similar to the real documents displayed
in Museums.
Note! These documents are NOT CHEAP
posters found elsewhere. All documents are NOT folded.
