John Quincy Adams Ward

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white image of a rectangular piece of paper. The paper is positioned horizontally. The paper has a rough texture and appears to be stained and discolored. There are darker spots on the paper and a large stain in the middle. There is writing in cursive in the top left corner. Most of the writing is illegible, but the number 46 can be seen. A crease runs along the right edge and there is a rounded corner on the bottom left. The background behind the paper is plain white.
