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.
