American patriot (1736–1799) best remembered for his stirring, historic declaration, ‘Give me liberty or give me death.’ Partly-printed DS, signed “P. Henry,” one page, 13 x 16.5, December 2, 1785. Henry, as governor of Virginia, grants 500 acres of land “on the waters of Middle Island Creek,” to James Ogelsby. Neatly signed at the conclusion by Henry. Nicely double matted and framed with an engraved portrait to an overall size of 30 x 24. In very good condition, with intersecting folds, scattered toning and soiling, a bit heavier to folds, a few partial separations along folds (perhaps repaired on the reverse), and show-through from docketing on reverse. An impressive document in both size and signature quality. Oversized.
