BOSTON, MASS.- RR Auction announced its October Fine Autographs and Artifacts sale, featuring over 900 extraordinary lots. The highlight of this exceptional event is an unparalleled collection: a complete set of autographs from all 40 signers of the American Constitution, including prominent founding fathers such as George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, and Alexander Hamilton.

This remarkable gathering of signatures represents a seminal document in American history that continues to be a touchstone for discussions on governance, rights, and bureaucracy. The United States' Constitution has been the lifeblood of the American government, shaping the nation's foundation, and serving as a global model for democratic governance. The collection includes manuscript material from all 40 signers, encompassing a variety of formats, from letters to documents and even paper currency. A standout piece is a three-language ship's passport signed by President George Washington.

Furthermore, this collection includes an additional autograph letter signed by the Secretary to the Constitutional Convention, William Jackson, who witnessed the Constitution's final edits. This comprehensive collection totals 40 manuscript items, making it a first-class assembly of historical significance.

In addition to this extraordinary collection, RR Auction offers several other important manuscripts by renowned figures:

Mark Twain: An attractive vintage photographic print of 'Samuel Langhorne Clemens' in a handsome half-length pose, circa 1904, signed neatly by Mark Twain. This piece sheds light on Twain's relationship with his Secretary, Isabel Lyon, and the subsequent fallout, offering unique insights into the legendary author's life.

Dylan Thomas: A handwritten manuscript for a note published in his Collected Poems 1934-1952, where Thomas reflects on the purpose of his poetry, emphasizing his love for humanity and praise for God.

Henry Miller: A unique archive of four published manuscripts, each signed by Henry Miller, which delve into character studies of individuals from his personal life. These manuscripts provide a fascinating glimpse into Miller's influential circle.

Charles Lindbergh: A handwritten draft of a New York Times article penned by Charles Lindbergh in 1929, discussing the advances in aviation and the limitless possibilities of powered flight.

Additional auction highlights include significant letters by Sigmund Freud, Alexander Graham Bell, Oliver Cromwell, and Harry Houdini. The collection also features signatures of iconic figures like the Beatles, Geronimo, and Martin Luther King, Jr.
