Partly-printed DS as president, one page, 19.5 x 15, August 21, 1835. Four-language ship’s papers issued to “Job Collins master or commander of the Ship called William & Eliza…bound for the Pacific Ocean and laden with Provisions, stores and utensils for a Whaling voyage.” Boldly signed in the third panel by Jackson and countersigned by Secretary of State John Forsyth. The crisp presidential seal affixed to the center remains fully intact. Nicely triple-matted and framed to an overall size of 26.5 x 21.5. In fine condition, with intersecting storage folds with a few small separations (one trivially affecting the extreme left edge of the signature); overall an extremely clean and boldly accomplished document. Although this era marked the beginning of the ‘Golden Age’ of American whaling, four-language ship’s papers issued by Jackson are quite scarce. Oversized. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA.
