Description

Elusive signature of the iconic Alamo defender

Frontiersman, politician and folk hero, he became famous for his shrewd and humorous speeches; he was killed at the Alamo. Rare ink signature, “D. Crockett,” on an off-white 1.75 x .5 clipped slip, affixed to a slightly larger card. Archivally double cloth matted and framed, with a portrait of Crockett and a small caption, to an overall size of 15.25 x 12.5. In fine condition, with closely trimmed edges, and a bit of scattered mild soiling. A most desirable, and difficult-to-acquire signature, as we have offered less than half a dozen over the past 30 years. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RRAuction COA.
