Abraham Lincoln Signed Document Ds As President. California Pioneer
Partly printed document signed “Abraham Lincoln” as president, parchment paper, 18×13.75 inches, Washington, December 5, 1864. White wafer seal intact. Countersigned by William Seward as Secretary of State. A rare document relating to the American Far West in which Lincoln again recognizes the appointment of Gustav Ziel (died 1867) of San Francisco to the position of Consul of Hesse Darmstadt [a former state of Germany] for the states of California and Oregon, and the Territories of Utah and Washington. If you Google “Gustav Ziel” the second entry that comes up is from the Library of Congress which has in their Alfred Whital Stern Collection of Lincolniana a nearly identical certificate, this one appointing Gustav Ziel as Consul of Hamburg of San Francisco, dated three years earlier on November 29, 1861. Now you can own a Lincoln document worthy of the Library of Congress. On the day Lincoln signed this document he was preparing for his Annual Message to Congress the following day which proposed the abolition of slavery. Also included is a two-page hand-written letter on Society of Pioneers stationery, San Francisco, October 11, 1867, signed by C. Mebrius to the widow of Gustav Ziel in which the society pays tribute to Gustave Ziel. The Lincoln document has a lot going for it. A similar item is in a famous Lincoln collection, it has connections with San Francisco, the Society of Pioneers, Germany, California, Oregon, Utah and Washington. The writing and signatures are bold. Document in very good condition. Comes with a signed lifetime guarantee of authenticity. Thank you for looking at my ad.
