THE DECLARATION

The images on this page show one of the framed early prototypes, which was further developed. Originally numbered 1/1320 - from the 85% scaled edition - this particular piece was produced before the addition of the actual hole, and lining, which became a feature of the final facsimile editions.
 
Thereafter subsequent facsimiles in the two editions - keeping true to the surviving copy on file at the National Recored of Scotland - were created with the hole in the document ...as an actual hole. The facsimile facing element (...the 'letter') was permanently attached to a separate lining to complete the realism of the piece.
 
See galleries further on in my website to view detailed images of the finished facsimile, in the 2016 editions.
