 Once the Congress approved the actual Declaration of Independence on July 4th, it ordered that it be sent to a printer named John Dunlap. About 200 copies of the Dunlap broadside version of the document were printed, with John Hancock's name printed at the bottom. Today, 26 copies remain. That is why the Declaration has the words, In Congress, July 4th, 1776, at the top, because that is the day the approved version was signed in Philadelphia.
