Additional Information: This framed signature of Thomas Lynch Sr. (1727-1776) represents a significant piece of early American history. Thought to be an original wet ink signature of Senior, Lynch was a prominent South Carolina statesman, planter, and delegate to the First and Second Continental Congresses, where he played an important role during the formative years of the American Revolution. Displayed within a presentation frame, the signature serves as a tangible connection to one of the influential political figures who helped shape the movement toward American independence. Combining historical importance with collectible appeal, this framed autograph is a desirable artifact for collectors of Revolutionary War memorabilia, presidential and political autographs, and early American documents. Many surviving examples of his signature were clipped out of books from his personal library rather than appearing on full documents. It is unknown whether this signature was clipped from one of these books. This signature has not been authenticated.
