The PENNSYLVANIA PACKET NEWSPAPER - SAME  EXACT PRINTER (JOHN DUNLAP) WHO PRINTED THE DECLARATION of INDEPENDENCE 9 YEARS EARLIER.
This newspaper was printed by John Dunlap who printed the first copies of the Declaration of Independence on July 4th 1776 in Philadelphia.
Continuing to serve the
fledgling
government, Dunlap and his partner David Claypoole printed the Constitution of the United States 19 September 1787 for use by the Constitutional Convention, and later published it for the first time in
The Pennsylvania Packet
.
In turn this newspaper was possibly printed on the same printing press that the Declaration of Independence was printed on, only 9 years earlier. Also
