Large ink signatures, “Go: Washington,” as president, and “Th: Jefferson,” as secretary of state, on an off-white 6 x 3.25 portion taken from a larger document. Written between the signatures, in a secretarial hand, is “By the President.” Grandly matted and framed with a copy of the Declaration of Independence and four large commemorative plates to an overall size of 43 x 33. Intersecting folds, passing through a couple letters of each signature, a professional repair to a semi-circular separation through top and bottom portions of Jefferson’s signature, and dampstaining along bottom edge, lightly affecting Jefferson’s signature as well, otherwise very good condition. While documents signed by both become available from time to time, amazingly, in the past 40 years, only a scant handful of Washington/Jefferson signed slips have appeared at major public auctions. Oversized. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
