Experts say 20th century defaced and enhanced signatures on the Declaration of Independence
Two National Archives scholars contend that between 1903 and 1940 officials altered the Declaration of Independence by overwriting signatures and leaving a left hand print. They cite ultraviolet light evidence showing enhanced strokes on John Hancock, and note signs of broader signature restoration while arguing the damage was largely a 20th century act.
