Without a Xerox copier there is only one way to make an exact copy of an original document. Harvard University is doing it’s best to ignore the simple physics and the first rule of making a copy.
Start with the original signed copy of the Declaration of Independence. Yet supposed researcher Professor Danielle Allen who wrote a book on a supposed missing coma in the Declaration, omits the correct and proper starting point in every one of her writings.
Allen is a doctrinaire Marx-supporting “we are all equal” liberal. Her latest rather dopey historic farce is about a rather nonsensical attachment to a letter that an unknown someone wrote and added the names of the signers which Allen quisically called signatures. In the spirit of lets say forgery she named the attachment: “The Sussex Copy”. What happened to honor at Harvard?
It’s not a copy at all, –not in any sense of a copy.
“The mission of the Declaration Resources Project is to create innovative and informative resources about the Declaration of Independence. By encouraging today’s Americans to take a deeper look at this document, and by taking advantage of digital literacy and new media, we hope to tackle the mysteries of the Declaration, replace folklore with equally-fascinating true stories, and demonstrate the ways in which engagement with fundamental primary sources can influence civic identity and education.” If you can bear to wade thru that claptrap it is a time and money wasting project that talks about “the mysteries” and the task of “replacing folklore”. Allen is trying to re-write history into her Liberal, Left-Wing, Socialist, Marxist, tribal praxiology which is the destruction of history and it’s replacement with propaganda, something for which Harvard, unfortunately has become notorious.
It’s fact that crap comes out of the back of a horse. Harvard has invented a new path for the stuff. Change History
What’s it take to make a copy of the Original, Signed Declaration of Independence without using a large Xerox machine? Make a metal plate that contains the mirror image of the original. How can that be done? Around 1850 making a metal printing plate by coating the original document with acid and placing it on a metal sheet. The acid would not stay on the letters so it etched an exact reproduction of the spaces into the metal sheet. The metal plate was coated with ink. A clean piece of parchment was pressed onto the inked plate and the ink was transferred from the raised parts of the metal plate. Those raised parts made the exact mirror image copies of the actual writing on the original parchment document.
It’s called Anastatic Copying. The acid unfortunately sort of destroyed the original Declaration.
