Remarkably large and crisp ink signature as president, "John Adams,” on an off-white 7.5 x 2 sheet clipped from the close of a document dated to August 15, 1798. Attractively cloth-matted and framed with a plaque and engraving to an overall size of 16 x 26.25. In fine condition, with some light creasing. Measuring nearly 4-inches in length, this represents one of the largest John Adams signatures we have offered, an example made all the more desirable by its boldness and by the significance of the time period—animosity between America and France in the wake of the recent recent XYZ Affair was soon to manifest in the Quasi War.
