Fighting words–the Revolutionary kind
by Mark Feeney, June 3, 2026 on the Peabody Essex Museum exhibition “Pressing Importance”:
The show concludes with Mindy Belloff’s 2010 “Unambiguous Edition” of the Declaration. It pays homage to Goddard’s 1777 version by reproducing it with one key difference: The two references to “men” become “people.” You have to look closely to see the difference. But once you know it’s there, you feel it. This isn’t updating. It’s improving. It’s also a reminder that the best celebrations are about the present and future as well as the past.

Hear an interview with Mindy Belloff on National Public Radio‘s local Baltimore station 88.1 on Maryland Morning with Sheilah Kast. The podcast is at: http://mdmorn.wordpress.com/ From WYPR: Many of the names associated with the Declaration of Independence-John Hancock, Samuel Adams, Samuel Chase-are household names. Another one-Mary Katherine Goddard-is probably not. But Goddard played a central role in this foundational American document-she printed it. At the time she was living in Baltimore and was in fact Baltimore’s Postmistress. Mindy Belloff, an artist who runs Intima Press in New York City, has spent a year recreating Mary Katherine Goddard’s printing of the Declaration of Independence.
