3 Historic Documents Reproduced on Parchment: Dec of Independence, Gettysburg Ad

Description

THREE COLLECTIBLE REPRODUCTIONS OF AMERICAN HISTORY DOCUMENTS
Actually only two of the three items in this lot are reproductions of historical documents, but the third fits in with the theme of American History.
All three are printed on paper that gives the appearance of being parchment in color and stiffness.
I know the two documents date from the late 1950’s or very early 1960’s as that was when my family went to Gettysburg on vacation but the third item was bought later since it is dated 1969. They would be perfect for any educational bulletin board.
1.
LINCOLN’S GETTYSBURG ADDRESS IN ENVEOPE FROM GETTYSBURGH.
Measures about 10 ½” x 13 ¾”. Has been folded into 6ths.
Envelope says “Enclosed is Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address in his own handwriting on genuine aged parchment paper.”
Below that in small print is “This is an authentic reproduction of the original in the Library of Congress in Washington D.C.”

I try to describe my items fairly and honestly to the best of my ability but please keep in mind that I am not an expert.
Please feel free to email me should you have any questions at all about them.
