Partly-printed DS as president, signed “Z. Taylor,” one page, 21.25 x 16.5, no date. An unissued four-language ship's paper that is signed boldly on the right side by Zachary Taylor and countersigned by Secretary of State John M. Clayton. Professionally restored and in very good to fine condition, with irregular toning, and an area of paper loss to the center that has expertly backed. Any Taylor presidential document is quite uncommon, as he served only 16 months before suddenly passing away on July 9, 1850; these four-language ship's passes are an especially desirable format, this being our first unissued example. Documents like this were often left blank and signed in advance before being sent out to American ports, where they were filled out as needed.
