Title:
Benjamin Harrison Signed Cut Signature with Typed Valediction – PSA/DNA Certified Encapsulated Autograph (Cert #85702007)

Description:
This attractive cut signature features the autograph of President Benjamin Harrison, written in rich brown ink beneath a typed valediction reading, “Very truly yours,”. The signature, “Benj Harrison,” is bold and fluid, displaying Harrison’s characteristic abbreviated form and confident penmanship.

The signed portion is neatly trimmed and professionally mounted beneath a printed portrait of Harrison, creating a visually appealing composite display. The paper shows moderate age toning consistent with late 19th-century material, while the ink remains strong and highly legible.

The piece is securely encapsulated within a PSA/DNA holder, preserving both the autograph and its presentation. The reverse is not visible due to the display backing within the slab.

Historical Context:
Benjamin Harrison served as the 23rd President of the United States from 1889 to 1893. The grandson of President William Henry Harrison, he was the only president to share such a direct familial link to a predecessor. His administration was marked by significant legislative activity, including the passage of the Sherman Antitrust Act, aimed at curbing monopolistic practices, and the McKinley Tariff, which raised import duties to protect American industry.

Harrison also presided over the admission of six new states into the Union, reflecting a period of national expansion and growth. His presidency, though often understated, played a key role in shaping economic and industrial policy during the Gilded Age.

Signed excerpts featuring formal closings such as “Very truly yours” are especially desirable, as they originate from complete correspondence and preserve the authentic tone of 19th-century written communication.

Authentication & Encapsulation:
This autograph has been authenticated and encapsulated by PSA/DNA, a leading authority in autograph verification. The certification number 85702007 is clearly displayed on the slab label, confirming authenticity. The tamper-evident holder ensures long-term preservation while maintaining excellent display visibility.

• Additional Documentation & Provenance: At buyer’s request, Historical Autographs Gallery will include an additional “Historical Autographs Gallery Certificate” signed by our company founder Luke Pascal at no cost.

Closing Appeal:
A well-balanced and historically rich presentation, this Benjamin Harrison signed cut signature combines a classic 19th-century closing with a strong presidential autograph. With its portrait-enhanced display and PSA/DNA authentication, it offers collectors a meaningful and visually engaging addition to any presidential autograph collection.
