This facsimile presentation follows the Stone engraving, but with a patriotic border and the signatures rearranged to accommodate advertising in the lower right corner. Various advertisers took advantage of the opportunity; this copy is "presented by S. Freedman & Co., Dealers in Dry Goods & Carpets" of Detroit, MI. The facsimile authentication and seal of the Secretary of Interior appear in the lower left. Most versions appear with the title reversed: "1776-1876, Centennial Memorial." Bidwell 36.
