AQS on two adjoining lightly lined off-white 5 x 7.25 sheets, signed at the conclusion “S. F. Smith, Written in 1832, Oct. 14, 1891.” Smith pens all four stanzas of “America.” In part: “My country, ’tis of thee,/Sweet land of liberty,/Of thee I sing;/Land where my fathers died,/Land of the pilgrims’ pride,/From every mountainside,/Let freedom ring…. Our father’s God to Thee,/Author of liberty,/To Thee we sing./Long may our land be bright,/with freedom’s holy light,/Protect us by Thy might,/Great God our King.” Framed to an overall size of 10.5 x 8.25. In very good to fine condition, with a uniform shade of mild toning, with a few slightly heavier spots, three central vertical creases, mostly confined to blank area, as well as some scattered light wrinkling. The writing is clear and distinct throughout. Examples of this classic collectible Americana including all four stanzas have become quite elusive. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RRAuction COA.
