Some copies are called "broadsides", one sheet printings of large documents. When the Congress adopted the final form of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, it went to a printer named Charles Dunlap, who printed several copies which were to be distributed to the states and armies. That copy had only John Hancock and Charles Thomson's (the Secretary of Congress) signatures. After the engrossed version was made and finally signed by most of the delegates another printing was done in another broadside, this time by Mary Katherine Goddard. There are several copies of Dunlap Broadsides and Goddard Broadsides still in existence.
