War-dated partly-printed vellum DS as president, one page, 13.5 x 16.5, February 19, 1863. President Lincoln appoints Henry W. Birkey to be “an Assistant Surgeon in the Navy.” Signed at the conclusion by Lincoln and countersigned by Secretary of the Navy Gideon Welles. Impressively cloth-matted and framed with two portraits of Lincoln, an informational plaque about Lincoln’s life during the period of his life when he signed this document, and a name plaque, to an overall size of 44 x 32. In very good condition, with intersecting folds, two passing through single letters of signature, creasing and wrinkling, Lincoln’s last name a bit lighter than his first name, and some light edge toning. The orange seal is bright, but worn. Oversized.
