RR Auction: Fine Autographs & Artifacts Featuring Royalty

Auction Details

RR Auction’s January Fine Autographs and Artifacts sale is sure to impress, boasting over 850 items in a wide variety of genres. We open with a special ‘Royalty’ section, which spans over five hundred years of majestic material—from Spain’s Catholic monarchs Ferdinand and Isabella of the 1490s to Britain’s tragic Princess Diana of the 1990s. Our presidential section is similarly robust, highlighted by a Revolutionary War-dated letter by George Washington, a Congressional resolution to honor Ben Franklin signed by Thomas Jefferson, and a page from Theodore Roosevelt’s manuscript for The Winning of the West. Other great autographs in this sale include the scientist Dmitri Mendeleev, the economist Adam Smith, the abolitionist John Brown, the surrealist Rene Magritte, and many more. RR Auction is a globally recognized and trusted auction house specializing in historical autographs and artifacts. Join us as we make history selling history in January 2018.
