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. Agree with above. Mikeo 10:50, 17 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
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)[reply]

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

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

Support. Excellent quality. Hurricanehink (talk) 02:52, 25 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Excellent quality, and historical significance would cover up any quality issues, even though in this case they do not exist. Tito xd^(?!?) 06:06, 25 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
