President Jefferson and Secretary Madison issue a ship’s pass for the heavily-laden Canton. Partly-printed DS, signed “Th: Jefferson” as President and “James Madison” as Secretary of State, one page, 19.75 x 16.25, May 21, 1807. Four language ship’s papers issued to Henry Latham “master and commander of the Brig called the Canton…Lying at present at the port of New York bound for Marseilles and laden with Sugar - Wine - Coffee - Ginger - Pimento - Indigo - Beeswax - Nankins - tobacco - and Logwood.” Crisply signed by Jefferson and Madison. Matted and framed to an overall size of 25.5 x 22. Document appears to have had some professional restoration and cleaning done to it, and also appears to be mounted to a board or mat. Aforementioned cleaning, mounting and restoration, intersecting folds, and a bit of mild soiling, mainly to folds, otherwise fine condition. Both paper seals are worn, but intact. A very presentable example of a most desirable combination of presidents. Oversized.
