Complete with its full text and the signature of the Signers, every stroke of the original document is captured with depth and clarity. Above the text sits the pediment found above the columns of the National Archives Building's south side portico in Washington, D.C., entitled \"Recorder of the Archives.\" Measuring 118 feet wide and 18 feet high, the grand pediments are the largest in the capital. The one seen here represents the Recorder in the center sitting atop a throne, holding an open book in his lap and the keys to the Archives in his hand. On either side of him are winged horses, figures collecting documents to be recorded, and a group of dogs that represents guardianship.
