Description
"The Presidential Signature: George Washington's Multi-Signed Ledger Sheet". A foundational piece of American history is presented in this exceptional offering: a 17 x 11" ledger sheet, bearing the prestigious signature of the United States’ first President, George Washington. Notably signed five times and initialized adjacent to five entries on the dated front side of October 25th, 1788, and further carrying two additional signatures with four initials on the reverse, dated October 26th, 1788, this document exemplifies the active engagement of Washington in the fiscal matters of his estate or possibly early American financial undertakings. George Washington was not merely a military general and a president; he was also an astute businessman and landowner, whose ventures were as fundamental to his character as his role in the founding of the United States. The ledger, with multiple signatures and initials from Washington, could have pertained to the management of Mount Vernon, his plantation, or other early American financial affairs, showcasing the detailed attention he paid to his financial duties and the country's economic infancy. Positioned between the conclusion of the Constitutional Convention in September 1787 and his Presidential inauguration in April 1789, this ledger sheet hails from a pivotal moment in Washington's life and in American history—a time when the young country was taking shape, and its leaders were establishing practices that would impact the future national landscape. George Washington Signatures: The document includes an extraordinary total of seven signatures and nine initials from Washington, showcasing the meticulous nature of the founding father. Document Provenance: The ledger bears the date of October 25th and 26th, 1788, situating it during a critical period just after the ratification of the U.S. Constitution. Preservation and Presentation: This historical document is protected and displayed in a way that honors its substantial age and significance, ensuring that both sides can be appreciated while preserving its condition. This item is a quintessential artifact for collectors and historians alike, providing a unique connection to one of the most eminent figures in American history. It is rare for such a piece, so rich with the personal touch of a founding father, to become available, presenting an opportunity to own a moment captured on parchment by a figure instrumental in America’s story. As this George Washington multi-signed ledger sheet goes to auction, prospective holders have the singular chance to claim a direct link to the very fabric of the nation’s beginnings.
