Item Details

Description

A monumental historical collector's item - a signed antique postal letter signed by George Washington. Dated April 15th, 1781. Dimensions: 11.75h x 14w (framed). In very good vintage condition consistent with age.
Provenance: This artwork was part of a seasoned art dealer's personal collection. By trade this art dealer was a teacher, but in the 1970s he started collecting and selling art as a supplement income. This turned into a successful business, and he traveled the globe internationally with his son sourcing original artworks by famous modern and post-war artists, as well as Asian and African artifacts. The art dealer is now retired and lives outside of Detroit, Michigan.
