Additional Details

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 the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad" and has the railroad's additional text "Centennial Route" printed in the upper margin. The facsimile authentication and seal of the Secretary of Interior appear in the lower left. Bidwell, Declaration in Script and Print 80 (this variant not described).
