Before penning the Declaration of Independence,
the first of the American Charters of Freedom, in 1776, the
Founding Fathers searched for a historical precedent for asserting
their rightful liberties from King George III and the English
Parliament. It contained the pledge that no free man should
have his rights removed without the due process of law and the
judgement of his peers. The Magna Carta became the law of the
land. The Magna Carta was used as an example when the Founding
Fathers drafted the constitution. The Magna Carta is written
in Latin and several copies were made for the King and for each
baron. A copy created in 1297 is found within the United States
National Archives. This magnificent rare reproduction of the
Magna Carta is available in Latin or English.
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.
