Ink signature, "J. Q. Adams,” on an off-white 1.75 x .75 slip that bears a secretarial annotation, “Dept. of State.” Impressively double-matted with an engraved plate and portrait to an overall size of 16.75 x 12.75. In fine condition. The presence of the ‘Department of State’ notation suggests that the signature may date to Adams’s tenure as Secretary of State, which lasted from 1817 to 1825.
