James Monroe (/mənˈroʊ/; April 28, 1758 – July 4, 1831) was an American statesman, lawyer, diplomat and Founding Father who served as the 5th president of the United States from 1817 to 1825. A member of the Democratic-Republican Party, Monroe was the last president of the Virginia dynasty and the Republican Generation; his presidency coincided with the Era of Good Feelings, concluding the First Party System era of American politics. He is perhaps best known for issuing the Monroe Doctrine, a policy of opposing European colonialism in the Americas. He also served as governor of Virginia, a member of the United States Senate, U.S. ambassador to France and Britain, the 7th Secretary of State, and the 8th Secretary of War.
John Quincy Adams (/ˈkwɪnzi/ (listen); July 11, 1767 – February 23, 1848) was an American statesman, diplomat, lawyer, and diarist who served as the sixth president of the United States, from 1825 to 1829. He previously served as the eighth United States Secretary of State from 1817 to 1825. During his long diplomatic and political career, Adams also served as an ambassador, and as a member of the United States Senate and House of Representatives representing Massachusetts. He was the eldest son of John Adams, who served as the second U.S. president from 1797 to 1801, and First Lady Abigail Adams. Initially a Federalist like his father, he won election to the presidency as a member of the Democratic-Republican Party, and in the mid-1830s became affiliated with the Whig Party.

Scarce Portrait Signed by John Quincy Adams — No Presidential Signed Portraits Exist Before John Quincy Adams
Portrait signed “John Quincy Adams” upon the lower margin of a 3.25″ x 4.5″ bust engraving of the sixth President, just below a printed example of his signature. With handwritten provenance on verso by a David Lambert, the original recipient: “House of Representatives / Washington, June 6, 1842 / The lower signature on the other side was written by Mr. Adams on this day.” Below this statement, Lambert pens an excerpt from Byron’s epic poem, “The Siege of Corinth,” alluding to Adams’ staunch position opposing slavery: “There stood an old man — his hairs were white, But his veteran arm was full of might. Though aged, he was so iron of limb, Few of our youth could cope with him, And the foes, whom he singly kept at bay, Outnumber’d his thin hairs of silver grey.” Exceptionally rare early Presidential portrait signed is matted to an overall size of 6″ x 8″, allowing viewing from both sides. Moderate soiling, creasing and surface abrasions, and small tear below image, not affecting signature. Sold for $4,900.

James Monroe Autograph Letter Signed — “…my slaves & other property…afford me great pleasure, to sell them to you…These slaves are mortgaged…to pay a balance due to the bank of Virg’a…”
James Monroe autograph letter signed, dated 16 December 1827, two years after he left the Presidency. Monroe’s financial situation, always strained, became very difficult after he left office when he sold Highland, his plantation in Albemarle County, Virginia. In this letter, written from his home in Oak Hill, Virginia, he is offering for sale, “…my slaves & other property in Albemarle…” The plantation produced tobacco, wheat and grapes for wine, requiring the work of 30 to 40 slaves. Although the former President profited from slavery, he also supported the colonization of freed slaves in Africa. The letter reads in part, “…Mr. Watson…has kindly undertaken to sell for me, my slaves & other property in Albemarle…[I]t will afford me great pleasure, to sell them to you…They are sold, as are all the property I have there, to pay debts, contracted in the long course of my public service…These slaves are mortgaged…to pay a balance due to the bank of Virg’a…” Minor foxing to two-page letter, written front and verso, with some bleedthrough to signature on verso. Measures 7.75″ x 10″. Overall very good. Sold for $9,750.
James Monroe Signed Autograph Letter
James Monroe signed autograph letter four months after he became President.

Although he voted against ratification, Monroe accepted the new government without misgivings, but his resentments are still present here. He goes on to discuss his future plans, “…I have explained myself fondly, as to the principles, on which I shall act. In this I have followed the spirit of my inaugural address…My best respects to Mrs. Dearborn. In great haste, with sincere respect, I am Dearborn yours…” Ends “James Monroe (signed)” with postscript reading, “I hope that my letter will [?] correctly, as it touches one person that is understanding.” 8″ x 10″, black ink, toning to edges, fold creases, matted nicely in wood frame. Fine. One of the best James Monroe signed letters that we have offered and an important historical document. Sold for $8,915.
