Charles A. Lindbergh Signature

About the Item

This is a handsome display featuring the signature of celebrated American aviator Charles A. Lindbergh (1902-1974). Lindbergh signed the page, now cut, in black ink as "Charles A. Lindbergh." His signature appears above his typed signature. A colorized photograph of Lindbergh in his fur-trimmed flying suit posing next to his famous biplane, the "Spirit of St. Louis," completes the signature collage. An engraved plaque with salient biographical details appears in a floating mount at the bottom. Charles A. Lindbergh (1902-1974), a Midwestern airmail carrier, rocketed to celebrity after his record-breaking solo non-stop transatlantic flight from New York to Paris in 1927. In his plane, “The Spirit of St. Louis”, Lindbergh departed on May 20th from Roosevelt Field, in Long Island. After 33 hours in the air, flying solo, without sleeping, and coping with adverse weather conditions, he touched down at an airfield outside Paris. His feat astounded and delighted the world and secured his position as one of the most important figures in aeronautical history. Lindbergh helped found what would later become TWA in 1929, and legitimized the nascent American airline industry by developing rules and regulations and even conducting publicity campaigns. In the 1930s, Lindbergh traveled around the world evaluating airpower capabilities. Later, Lindbergh worked with Longines Watch Company to produce a navigation-friendly pilot's watch, and even invented a glass heart pump that facilitated heart surgery. Condition: Very good condition. Signature is black ink, penned above Lindbergh’s typed name. Signature is legible and strong. An isolated pinprick affects the "d" of Lindbergh's signature, else near fine. The display is artfully matted in steel gray, grass green, and textured burlap mats within a patterned metallic custom frame. The size of the cut signature is 1 3/8" H x 3" W . The overall framed size is 21 5/8" H x 13 3/8" x 1"D.

  • Thomas Jefferson Signature Collage
    Located in Colorado Springs, CO
    This is an original Thomas Jefferson signature, presented framed with an etched portrait of Jefferson by Jacques Reich. The cut signature reads “Th. Jefferson” and is signed with a quill in black ink. This rare cut Jefferson signature was one of several prominent American statesman autographs collected together and bound in a 1809 volume of the Baltimore Evening Post. Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826) was a leading figure in early American history, with a remarkable legacy in politics, law, and academia. He contributed significantly to the development of American democracy as a politician, diplomat, and as the main author of the Declaration of Independence. Throughout his life, Jefferson championed freedom of religion, agricultural innovation, and the importance of education. During the Revolutionary War, Jefferson served in the Virginia legislature, was governor of Virginia, and a member of the Continental Congress. Among the Committee of Five charged by the Second Continental Congress with authoring the Declaration of Independence, Jefferson was the document's primary author. Jefferson served as United States Minister to France from 1785 to 1789. President Washington then appointed Jefferson as the nation's first secretary of state, where he served from 1790 to 1793. In the early 1790s, Jefferson and James Madison organized the Democratic-Republican Party to oppose the Federalist Party. Jefferson thought the national government should have a limited role in citizens’ lives. Jefferson lost the 1796 presidential election to Adams, which according to electoral procedure at the time made him Adams' vice president. Jefferson challenged Adams again four years later, in 1800, and won the presidency. During his two terms as president, the U.S. purchased the Louisiana Territory, which doubled the country’s size, he reduced the nation’s debt, established the nation’s first national military university at West Point, declared war on Barbary pirates, and implemented the Embargo Act. After leaving office, he retired to his Virginia plantation, Monticello, and helped found the University of Virginia. The original signature is paired with a handsome etched portrait of Jefferson by 20th century artist Jacques Reich. A head and shoulders portrait, Reich based his etched rendition off an 1805 oil-on-canvas painting by Gilbert Stuart...
