WWII General Douglas MacArthur Signature Collage

About the Item

This collage features an authentic signature by General Douglas MacArthur paired with a photo of the impactful soldier and a five star general pin. Standing in his characteristic pose, MacArthur was photographed wearing his own five star general pin on both lapels. All elements are framed together in a custom, archival frame. For more than 60 years, General Douglas MacArthur served his country as a soldier. He achieved the highest acclaim for his exploits as a grand strategist in WWII, commanding the Southwest Pacific Theatre and in Korea, leading the United Nations forces during the first nine months of the conflict. MacArthur held the center stage in one of the bitterest civil versus military controversies in the history of the nation, leading troops to remove the so-called Bonus Army from the capitol. A recipient of Medal of Honor for his efforts in the Philippines, MacArthur also commanded the famous island-hopping campaign in the Pacific. On September 2, 1945, it was General MacArthur who was placed in charge of the formal surrender of Tokyo and oversaw the occupation of Japan for the next six years. General Douglas MacArthur was considered a hero by the American public for his leadership roles in multiple wars and conflicts and was honoured with a state funeral after his death in 1964. Condition: Overall very good condition. Douglas MacArthur’s signature is on a clean and bright partial piece of paper with only a small stain at the left corner. The photograph is newly printed and the pin is newly made. All elements are framed together according to the highest conservation standards including UV protective glass and acid-free matting.

  • Thomas Jefferson Signature Collage
    Located in Colorado Springs, CO
    This is an original Thomas Jefferson signature, presented framed with an etched portrait of Jefferson by Jacques Reich. The cut signature reads “Th. Jefferson” and is signed with a quill in black ink. This rare cut Jefferson signature was one of several prominent American statesman autographs collected together and bound in a 1809 volume of the Baltimore Evening Post. Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826) was a leading figure in early American history, with a remarkable legacy in politics, law, and academia. He contributed significantly to the development of American democracy as a politician, diplomat, and as the main author of the Declaration of Independence. Throughout his life, Jefferson championed freedom of religion, agricultural innovation, and the importance of education. During the Revolutionary War, Jefferson served in the Virginia legislature, was governor of Virginia, and a member of the Continental Congress. Among the Committee of Five charged by the Second Continental Congress with authoring the Declaration of Independence, Jefferson was the document's primary author. Jefferson served as United States Minister to France from 1785 to 1789. President Washington then appointed Jefferson as the nation's first secretary of state, where he served from 1790 to 1793. In the early 1790s, Jefferson and James Madison organized the Democratic-Republican Party to oppose the Federalist Party. Jefferson thought the national government should have a limited role in citizens’ lives. Jefferson lost the 1796 presidential election to Adams, which according to electoral procedure at the time made him Adams' vice president. Jefferson challenged Adams again four years later, in 1800, and won the presidency. During his two terms as president, the U.S. purchased the Louisiana Territory, which doubled the country’s size, he reduced the nation’s debt, established the nation’s first national military university at West Point, declared war on Barbary pirates, and implemented the Embargo Act. After leaving office, he retired to his Virginia plantation, Monticello, and helped found the University of Virginia. The original signature is paired with a handsome etched portrait of Jefferson by 20th century artist Jacques Reich. A head and shoulders portrait, Reich based his etched rendition off an 1805 oil-on-canvas painting by Gilbert Stuart...
