George Washington's contribution to the foundation of the United States of America cannot be overstated. Something else that can't be overstated is the rarity and investment potential of his autograph. With virtually everything bearing his penmanship being absorbed by museums and institutions, Washington's signature has been elevated to the mythical status that it so properly deserves. With that said, we are proud to present this example of Washington's penmanship. Presumably extracted from a colonial document, these clippings have been penned by the 1st President of the United States, "George" and "Washington", respectively, mounted together to create a desirable full name autograph. This has been further matted along with a portrait of Washington to create a 7.75" x 11.75" display. In overall fine condition with rough edges and expected toning to the document clippings. In an industry where historical autographs such as this are continually rising in value, this is an excellent opportunity to own a piece of history at a reasonable price! Accompanied by a full Letter of Authenticity from Beckett Authentication Services (BAS).
