The American Declaration of Independence Illustrated. Lithograph, 201/2x171/4 inches; several closed marginal tears, some early amateurish repairs to the reverse; paper evenly darkened. Depicts an American eagle holding a basket in its beak; in it are two men, one white the other black; the latter casting off his chains, with the caption "Break Every Yoke, Let the oppressed go free"; beneath, a crowd cheers them with two hand-colored American flags in the center; above the flags are the words "All Men are Created Equal-Stand by the Declaration." Boston: Thayer, 1861
