This remarkable and rare little publication offers a glimpse into the slow progress of construction of one of the most famous monument in the country. At the time of this publication, the Monument was only partially built, out of money & construction was about to stop completely because of the Civil War. In fact, the Monument would be partially taken down after the war because the construction of the 1850's was of too poor quality to continue building on top of. This booket has further interest in that is came originally from the Toner Library a famous nineteenth century collection of Washintoniana.

Broadside. Certificate of a donation of one dollar to the construction of the Washington Monument. "Earnestly recommended to the favour of our countrymen." Facsimile signatures of eight prominent individuals, namely, James K. Polk, Zachary Taylor, Albert Gallatin, G. M. Dallas, Henry Clay, Millard Fillmore, John Quincy Adams, and Daniel Webster. The order and number of signatures vary in different versions of the broadside. Countersigned, again in facsimile, by William Dougherty, an architect, as the agent of the fund. Broadside is dominated by a lithographic representation of the original plan for the monument by the architect Robert Mills, in which a colonnade surrounded the base of the obelisk. The lithograph was drawn by J. Sartain and printed by G. Sherman, Philadelphia. Aside from the location of the lithographer, the Philadelphia origin is bolstered by the presence of Dallas, a Philadelphian, among the more famous signatories. This is an unused certificate, with no donor's name. Very good condition with wide margins.…
