Bold ink signature as president, "A. Lincoln, Oct. 10, 1862,” on an off-white 3.25 x 1 slip. Handsomely double-matted and framed with a portrait to an overall size of 16 x 21.5. In fine condition. President Abraham Lincoln had issued the preliminary Emancipation Proclamation just a few weeks earlier, on September 22, 1862, announcing that slaves in the rebellious states would be freed on January 1, 1863. A crisp and desirable signature from a definitive moment in American history.
