Author, suffragette, dramatist, poet, and biographer (1819–1910), best remembered as the lyricist of ‘Battle Hymn of the Republic.’ AQS on an off-white 7.75 x 5 sheet. Howe writes: “Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord,” signing underneath, “Julia Ward Howe, Born in New York City—May 27th 1819.” Two vertical folds, one through a single letter of signature, uniform toning, a bit of light soiling, and light show-through from a strip of mounting remnant to reverse top edge, otherwise fine condition.
