Lincoln's name is handwritten in calligraphy across the top, above his printed title ''President of the United States of America''. Single-page, partially-printed document bears a blind embossed presidential seal to the lower left and is countersigned by William H. Seward as Secretary of State. Framed to an overall size of 17.25'' x 12.25''. Creasing and small spots of separation to fold intersections, else near fine.
