Description

Superior exemplar of the Revolution’s heroic admiral

Ink signature clipped from the close of a letter, “Your affectionate friend, J. Paul Jones,” on an off-white 3.5 x 1 slip clipped from a letter. In fine condition, with light show-through from sixteen words in Jones’s hand on the reverse. Accompanied by an unsigned engraved portrait. Jones is exceedingly rare in autographic material of any type and this example—the first we have ever offered—is exceptionally crisp and well preserved. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.
