Excellent signature and inscription, executed by the 16th POTUS in a rich black quill pen ink, "Jan 22, 1864 - A. Lincoln," on a .75" x 4" document segment.
Penned during an eventful week for President Lincoln in the midst of the Civil War. Just a day after this signature was executed, Lincoln approved a policy where plantation owners would recognize the freedom of their former slaves and hire them by fair contracts in order “to re-commence the cultivation of their plantations.” he urged the military authorities to support such a free-labor system.
