Vellum DS, in Latin, signed “S. D. Gross,” one page, 21.5 x 25.5, 1882. Medical school diploma from the Jefferson Medical College awarded to Robert N. Keely, Jr. who would go on to become a member of Robert E. Peary’s early Arctic expedition to Greenland from 1891–1892. Signed by Gross and one other. In very good condition, with a central vertical crease, moderate rippling from being previously rolled, scattered creasing, light toning, with heavier areas along the edges, and a few small surface tears. Seal is lightly worn, but intact, and is attached to an original blue ribbon hanging from the bottom of the document.
