Frederick Lord North, Prime Minister under George III of Great Britain. Cut square signature from a document. From the same document is the date ''12th Nov. 1781'', the year of the Yorktown surrender. Lord North's policies helped fuel the revolt and George III's loss of the colonies. Tone spot on the top edge, but the signature is bold and sharp.
Ex Early American Numismatics, December 2, 1995 Mail Bid Sale, Lot 254.
