	History of the Declaration of Independence (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Jefferson's account reflects three stages in the life of the Declaration: the document originally written by Jefferson; the changes to that document made by Franklin and Adams, resulting in the version that was submitted by the Committee of Five to the Congress; and the version that was eventually adopted.
		During the years that the Declaration was exhibited in the Patent Office, the combined effects of aging, sunlight, and fluctuating temperature and relative humidity took their toll on the document.
		The Declaration was to be housed in a frame of gold-plated bronze doors and covered with double panes of plate glass with specially prepared gelatin films between the plates to exclude the harmful rays of light.

	A History of the Declaration of Independence @ IANXXI.COM
		One later theory as to why the Declaration was aging so soon after its creation stems from the common 18th-century practice of taking "press copies." Press copies were made by placing a damp sheet of thin paper on a manuscript and pressing it until a portion of the ink was transferred.
		The longest of the early sojourns of the Declaration was from 1841 to 1876.
		The Declaration and Washington's commission as commander in chief were mounted together in a single frame and hung in a white painted hall opposite a window offering exposure to sunlight.

		Depending upon whom you listen to, the film career of David Lynch is either a cautionary tale of young genius gone haywire with vaulted ambition and staggering self-importance, or it's a sobering tale of an idealistic artist clinging ruthlessly to individual vision while audiences became marginalized and box-office receipts sank lower than an asphalt steamboat.
