A rare Declaration of Independence print published more than two centuries ago and tucked away in historical archives in Ohio for more than 140 years will be displayed publicly for the first time by a Cincinnati museum. The Cincinnati Museum Center says the Holt broadside was printed by newspaper publisher and printer John Holt in White Plains, New York, on July 9, 1776.
Broadsides are poster-like documents historically used for advertisements and news, including political proclamations.
Museum center officials say they didn't know how rare the Holt broadside was until Christie's Auction House authenticated it. A Christie's official says Holt's broadsides are among the rarest, with only three others known to exist.
