A very nice document from the renowned collection of Dr. John K. Lattimer signed by American Founding Father James Duane. The approximately 8" x 4 - 1/2" paper is a pay document for a Joseph Banson for 7,005 shillings and 6 pence for carting dirt. The document is dated April 6th, 1785, and is boldly signed by Duane at the bottom left, noting himself as Mayor of New York City. The signature was authenticated and comes with a James Spence Full Letter of Authenticity. Slightly worn corners with faint fold lines and yellowing. Legible writing with crisp signature. CONDITION: Good. The lot also comes with an engraving of Duane, a brief family biography, and 2 photos of his father, Anthony Duane, which Lattimer displayed with this document.
