Glen Rock Public Library Chosen to Host a Replica of the 1823 William J. Stone Engraving of the Declaration of Independence 

The Glen Rock Public Library is honored to be one of only three libraries and three schools nationwide selected to host a replica of the 1823 William J. Stone engraving of the Declaration of Independence thanks to the Foundation for Art and Preservation in Embassies (FAPE) and Crayola Learning. The exhibition is part of FAPE and Crayola’s “Creative Freedom” initiative celebrating the 250th anniversary of the United States and the signing of this historic document. 

While the Stone engraving remains the most widely recognized and commonly reproduced image of the Declaration in textbooks and illustrations, fewer than three dozen original prints are known to exist today. The FAPE replica, a generous gift from David M. Rubenstein in 2013, one for each U.S. embassy around the world, will be on public display at the library from February 28 through July 7, 2026.
