1802, Philadelphia One share issued to William Cramond. Signed as secretary of the company by James Gibson and by Archibald McCall as president. This company was an attempt to reorganize the earlier asylum company founded by Robert Morris and John Nicholson. The original Asylum Company was formed in 1792 to provide refuge for King Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette and other elite members of the overthrown French government which never materialized. A scarce early stock from this extremely interesting company. 7" x 8" Trimmed close at left border. There is a 3” archival tape repair along vertical center fold split. Uncancelled. Extremely fine.
