Thomas Jefferson's Visiting Card, Bearing His Signature in an Ornate Printed Border - A Rarity

Here is the very rare calling card of “Mr. Jefferson," as he insisted on being called – and not “Mr. President.” Jefferson, in adherence to the principle of equality, eschewed the use of titles throughout his career.

Calling Card Signed (“Mr. Jefferson”), sextodecimo; Of great rarity.

On the verso, autograph expert Charles Hamilton has written, in pencil, his certification of authenticity.
