Vibrant Francis Scott Key Signature

 

Francis Scott Key Signature on sheet, 3.25" x 1". Signed as "F. Key" with lovely dark vibrant ink. Near fine with slight spreading of the ink.

 

Francis Scott Key was an American lawyer and amateur poet who witnessed the bombarding of the American forces at Fort McHenry during the Battle of Baltimore, September 13-14, 1814.  When the smoke cleared on this crucial War of 1812 battle, Key saw the American flag still waving and was so inspired that on the way back home he wrote a poem describing his experience, a poem we now call the “Star Spangled Banner”.

 

This item comes with a Certificate from John Reznikoff, a premier authenticator for both major 3rd party authentication services, PSA and JSA (James Spence Authentications), as well as numerous auction houses.
