Henry Clay, Daniel Webster & Thomas W. Ferry

Henry Clay. Free franked envelope signed “H. Clay,” addressed to Washington, D.C., bearing period postal markings. The signature is clean. Expected toning, edge wear, and handling consistent with genuine mid-19th-century postal use. Size: 3.5" x 5"Daniel Webster. Early photographic portrait from the daguerreotype period, depicting Webster in later life. The image shows surface wear, light abrasions, and oxidation typical of early photographic materials, with strong period presence and visual gravitas. Size: 1.75"x 4"Thomas W. Ferry. Autograph sentiment signed “T. W. Ferry,” with “Vice President U.S.” neatly crossed out and replaced by “President pro tempore U.S.S.,” reflecting Ferry’s actual constitutional role as President pro tempore of the United States Senate.
