[edit] US Declaration of Independence

This is a high-resolution enhanced image of the United States Declaration of Independence. This image is a version of the 1820s William Stone facimile. This image is from the commons, and can be found in the articles United States Declaration of Independence and Human Rights. I am nominating the image for its historical importance.

• Support, though I find the slight upward tilt of the lines of writing distracting. Any way you could fix this, or is it a flaw that comes with the original document? --NoahElhardt 14:29, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

Probably just scanned at an angle, can and should be straightened. Stevage 23:31, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

It doesn't look like it was scanned at an angle. The edges of the paper line up with the edges of the picture. Maybe it's just a tilt from writing it out by hand. — BRIAN0918 • 2006-06-18 03:06
