Robinson “Brigade Surgeon of Volunteers.” Signed at the conclusion by Lincoln and countersigned by the acting secretary of war. Cloth-matted and framed with a seated portrait of Lincoln to an overall size of 33 x 29.5. In very good condition, with intersecting folds, with a horizontal fold passing through first name of signature, all handwritten portions of document very light, but mostly legible, some light wrinkling, toning, and soiling, and Lincoln’s signature uniformly faded, but still legible. The white seal is worn, but intact. Surgical appointments are always desirable, especially ones from early in the great conflict. Oversized. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
