Description

Rare 1588 signed letter from King James I

King of England and Ireland (1566–1625) under whom the ‘Golden Age’ of Elizabethan literature and drama continued. Untranslated LS in Early Modern English, signed “James R,” one page, 7.5 x 11.5, 1588. In fine condition, with intersecting folds, very subtle dampstaining to lower portion, and a mounting strip to the left edge. At this time James was just 22 years old and known as James VI, King of Scotland; his power expanded in 1603 when he also began ruling the kingdoms of England and Ireland as James I. An exceptionally desirable early document. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.
