Item Details
Description
George Washington Signed Full Handwritten Document (1789). We are profoundly honored to present a remarkable piece of American history–an original handwritten document bearing the full signature of the first President of the United States, George Washington. Dated from the influential year of 1789, this document stands not only as a significant presidential artifact but also as a testament to the nascent moments of the United States as an independent nation. Historical Significance: 1789 was a monumental year in American history, witnessing the inauguration of George Washington as the nation's first president on April 30th. The document on offer is from the pivotal first year of his presidency, a period during which President Washington was setting the groundwork for the office of the presidency, and by extension, the future of the new republic. Washington's autographs from this era are exceedingly rare and highly prized among collectors. This document was penned by Washington himself–his graceful, confident strokes compellingly convey the weight of responsibility upon the shoulders of the fledgling country's leader. Given Washington's practice of entrusting most mundane presidential paperwork to his secretaries, this fully handwritten document further elevates its rarity and desirability. Authenticity: The document features George Washington's full signature executed with the distinct flourish characteristic of his hand. The paper and ink have undergone rigorous examination, confirming their period-appropriate composition. Additionally, the document has been expertly preserved, with all text remaining legible and the presidential seal being remarkably intact. Estimate: Considering the rarity and historical significance of documents from President George Washington dating back to the early years of the United States, similar items at auction have fetched from 150,000 - 300,000. Bidders are advised that such items rarely appear on the open market, and this auction represents a unique chance to acquire a piece interwoven with the very fabric of American history. Please Note: Prospective buyers are invited to view the document by appointment before the auction date. We strongly recommend utilizing your own experts for additional queries about the document's historical context and its conservation. This auction lot is not merely a collector's item; it is a piece of American heritage, a symbol of the patriotic spirit, and a direct connection to one of the most venerated figures in the nation's chronicle. It serves as a rare window into the early presidency and is an investment worth cherishing for generations to come. This item comes with a letter of authenticity from a reputable third-party autograph authentication company, confirming that the signature is genuine.
