It is believed only around 200 Dunlap prints of the Declaration of Independence were made (Crown Copyright/The National Archives/PA) -

A rare copy of the United States Declaration of Independence will go on display in London next year as part of an exhibition exploring the birth of the country.

The show at the National Archives in Kew, titled Revolution 250: The Making Of The USA, will include documents such as a rare Dunlap print of the declaration itself, the Tea Act which led to the Boston Tea Party and the Treaty of Paris which ended the American War of Independence when Britain finally recognised the United States of America.
