A blank diploma which would have been awarded to a member of the Society of the Cincinnati dual signed by George Washington and Henry Knox. Unfortunately, the diploma is also undated, but the society was founded in 1783 by Henry Knox. George Washington became the President General of the Society of the Cincinnati. This is a nice document dual-signed by historically significant American figures. The diploma measures approximately 19 - 1/2" x 14 - 1/2". The signatures were authenticated and the diploma comes with a James Spence Authentication Full Letter of Authenticity. Former Dr. John K. Lattimer Collection. Housed in a Paul C. Richards Autographs folder. The diploma was folded and exhibits obvious fold lines with edgewear and slight discoloration. Signatures exhibit fading but remain legible. CONDITION: Good.
