Description: This is a military appointment signed by President Abraham Lincoln during the Civil War, dated August 1, 1864. This document promotes Pickett to the rank of Captain and bears Lincoln's bold full signature as "Abraham Lincoln." The appointment is countersigned by Edwin M. Stanton, Lincoln's trusted Secretary of War. The year 1864 was a crucial period in the ongoing Civil War, as the Union Army intensified its efforts to bring the conflict to a successful conclusion. During this time, key campaigns such as the Atlanta Campaign were underway. This document is signed during the heat of the Civil War, reflecting Lincoln's dedication to the war effort and his leadership during one of the most tumultuous times in American history. The document has been authenticated by JSA Authentication Services, providing assurance of its genuineness. It includes the original JSA Letter of Authenticity and is guaranteed genuine. This is one of the finest Lincoln documents available on the market. The condition of the original vellum document, measuring approximately 19" x 16", is as shown. It features the original green seal attached, with some fading to the text, but both Lincoln and Stanton's signatures remain impressively bold and clear. The document exhibits some toning to the outer edges, light wrinkling, and deep folds, which is to be expected for a document of its age. This is a rare opportunity to own a significant piece of American history. It would make the perfect gift for a Presidential collector, Lincoln enthusiast, autograph collector, or history buff. The item comes custom framed in an 18” x 24” frame with double mat suede surrounding the document.
