Andrew Johnson Invitation
“Winners will be notified after the auction ends and once all bids have been processed to determine the winner for each lot”
Very rare invitation from ''The President of the United States, and Mrs. Johnson'' requesting ''the pleasure of Mr. & Mrs. Robinson's Company to Dine on Friday next at 6 o'clock Mch. 14th 1868''. The elegantly printed invitation measures 6'' x 5'' and in the upper blank margin features a large embossed ''J'' at center. The likely invitee, William E. Robinson, was a Democratic representative from New York who in the 1840's wrote for the New York Tribune under the name ''Richelieu.'' Minor wear and mounting remnants on verso, else near fine.
