folio. two broadsides featuring the reprint of the Declaration and the second broadside being the Essays, printed in blue and red. Both printed on handmade cotton & linen paper custom made by Katie MacGregor, Maine. First edition limited to 118 copies. A fine copy. This contemporary edition was printed on July 4, 2010, by Mindy Belloff, New York, NY on a bright white cotton rag paper from St. Armand (Canada). Based upon the design and printing by Mary Katharine Goddard, Maryland, January 18, 1777. Funding of the paper for this edition was made possible by a grant from the Puffin Foundation, whose mission is to support creative and innovative initiatives that will advance progressive social change.The "long-s" characters were replaced by regular "s" characters and John Hancocks signature was printed in a light blue ink instead of a sepia color. However, what distinguishes this edition is the word "People" in two places, replacing the original "Men." This inclusive edition was partially funded by a grant from the Puffin Foundation, committed to supporting "creative and innovative initiatives that advance progressive social change." "Setting the Declaration in type was enlightening in many ways, as my thoughts throughout the process were of Mary Katharine in her print shop during the cold month of January, not having 21st-century amenities. I could not help but wonder how Mary Katharine must have felt being entrusted to print this stunning proclamation while setting each letter of the text all Men are created equal. Therefore, on July 4th, 2010, I went to press on a second unambiguous edition proclaiming all People are created equal," explained Mindy Belloff. "Mary Katharine was an incredibly brave woman for her time. By her actions, she was clearly a pioneer for womens rights and freedom of the press." When we think of the Declaration of Independence today, it is the essence of the second paragraph stating an individuals undeniable right to live freely, that most Americans can recite from memory: We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. "While I believe most people intuitively understand all Men to mean that all are created equal " all men and women, all mankind, all people, there were clearly contradictory definitions of freedom and human rights in the late 18th-century and subsequently. I felt it was time to clarify the language." two broadsides featuring the reprint of the Declaration and the second broadside being the Essays, printed in blue and red.
