Prentiss Whitney (1787-1870) was an auctioneer at 30 Washington St. Boston in the 1830's and 1840's. His ancestor Rev. Peter Whitney of Northborough, Ma was one of the first to call for publishing the Declaration of Independence ("American independence vindicated. A sermon delivered September 12, 1776.
At a lecture appointed for publishing the Declaration of Independence passed July 4, 1776. By the representatives of the United States of America in general congress assembled"). Peter Whitney also wrote "The History of the County of Worcester, in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts".
Prentiss Whitney published a beautiful copy of the Declaration of Independence. It is approximately 26" tall by 21" wide. It has a four-line title printed in 4 different fonts. The text of the document is primarily in a handscript, with some words enlarged and bolded in print type of four different fonts. Bottom section contains the signature replicas. The entire document is surrounded by two intertwined vines which encircle 13 state medallions and an eagle and shield Federal medallion. Vines and medallions are fully hand-colored.
