• EARLY AMERICAN SIGNATURES
  EARLY AMERICAN SIGNATURES COLLECTIONLarge boards formerly binding the Baltimore Evening Post -- the entire year of 1809. Front endpaper has accession bookplate from the Enoch Pratt Library in Baltimore. Inside the front cover, pasted around an oval photo of George Washington, is a most remarkable collection of cut autographs. These are NOT printed signatures, but live, inked signatures -- different types and textures of paper, different tones, etc. The signatures, starting from the top, include the following: Robert Treat Paine (Continental Congress), Thomas Jefferson, Samuel Adams, [illegible], Rob Morris (Continental Congress), Henry Clay (Senator), Roger Sherman (Congress), John Hancock, Benjamin Franklin, George Washington, Charles Carroll (Continental Congress), Stephan Hopkins (Rhode Island governor), Sam Huntington (Connecticut governor), Gerard Hopkins (a Baltimore businessman), William McMechen (Baltimore County court justice), Roger Taney (Maryland attorney general), and Washington Irving (author). In the bottom center is the only printed matter on the page -- a letter by Horatio Nelson. A curious mixture of rather unremarkable individuals with some of the most prominent Americans in the history of the country. It has been suggested that the collection was assembled by a newspaper employee around 1810-1820 -- someone with access to letters (such as letters to the editor) or signed documents on file that perhaps were going to be purged. In any case, it is unknown whether these signatures are all genuine, or if some are secretarially signed. None of them, though, are printed signatures. A partially worn engraving to the left of Washington's picture depicts an elderly black woman, on whose apron is written the name "Old Joice Heth," a P.T. Barnum character who was alleged to be the 161-year-old nurse of George Washington. One clue as to the possible assembler of this piece is an early 20th century bookplate just at the end of all the signatures. The bookplate reads "Ex libris Dr. Chr. Deetjen." Dr. Christian Deetjen, a Baltimore physician and X-Ray pioneer, and personal friend of H.L. Mencken, was quite the old book collector, and one of his hobbies was bookbinding. Volume measures 19-1/2" x 12-3/4". A fascinating collection, however it came to be. shipping info This item will need to be shipped by a packing company of your choice.
