Description
Exquisite Thomas Jefferson Signature with Partial Red Wax Seal. An extraordinary piece of American heritage is set to cross the auction block – a rare, authentic signature of Thomas Jefferson, the third President of the United States and principal author of the Declaration of Independence. This 2x5-inch document page cut, adorned by Jefferson's unmistakable oxidized ink signature and accompanied by the remnants of a stately red wax seal, offers a direct and physical connection to one of the nation's Founding Fathers. Historical Significance: Thomas Jefferson's contributions to the United States are immeasurable. As a statesman, diplomat, and visionary, he shaped the ideals of liberty and self-governance that remain at the core of American identity. His signature on this document cut, therefore, is not merely a collection of letters but a symbol of the enduring principles upon which the Republic stands. It carries with it the weight of the early American republic and Jefferson's influence on the global stage, promoting democratic ideals and human rights. The presence of the partial red wax seal adds to the historical intrigue of this piece. Such seals were often used to authenticate official documents and correspondence, reinforcing the authenticity and significance of this fragment. Though the document from which this signature was cut is not specified, it may have been, judging by the seal, a document of considerable importance during Jefferson's era. Condition Report: The signature of Thomas Jefferson is preserved in oxidized ink, bearing the marks of age that one would anticipate from a document of this historical period. The paper itself shows natural aging, and while the cut may feature some wear indicative of its journey through time, the integrity of the ink and the allure of the wax seal remain intact. Custom Framed Presentation: To honor and safeguard such a noteworthy fragment of American history, this item is presented in a museum-quality, custom-designed frame. Archival materials have been used throughout to ensure the protection of the signature and seal. The document cut is mounted with acid-free matting in a manner that showcases the signature's elegance and the seal’s distinctive remnants, without causing any harm. The frame is complemented further by UV-protective plexiglass to shield the artifact from light damage, preserving its condition for future generations.
