Framed Engraving and Signature of General Winfield Scott
A remarkable presentation of American military history, this framed piece features an engraved portrait and authentic signature of General Winfield Scott, one of the most distinguished figures in 19th-century U.S. military leadership. The portrait engraving, credited to Geo. E. Perine, captures Scott in his later years, in full uniform with prominent epaulettes. Beneath the portrait is a bold ink signature reading “Winfield Scott,” mounted behind glass in a display that combines both elegance and historic reverence. Known as "Old Fuss and Feathers," Scott served in the War of 1812, led U.S. forces during the Mexican-American War, and was General-in-Chief at the start of the Civil War. He also ran for president in 1852. The reverse side includes a preserved military pass dated August 29, 1861, issued from the Headquarters of the Army during the early days of the Civil War. Framed in wood with green tone matting and gold accent trim.
