George H. Boker signed Vintage 4x3.5 Cut Signature Poem/Dec 28, 1889- JSA Hologram #EE63462 (Civil War Poet/Us Ambassador)

In 1848, George Boker's first volume of verse, The Lessons of Life, and other Poems, was published. Launched in the literary life, Boker began to write assiduously. During this time, in correspondence with his friends, Boker was determining to himself the distinction between poetic and dramatic style. In the 1860s, the Union League Club was founded, with Boker as the leading spirit; through his efforts the war earnestness of the city was concentrated here; from 1863-71 he served as its secretary; from 1879-84 as its President. But Boker's thoughts were also concerned with poetry. In 1869, Boker issued Königsmark, The Legend of the Hounds and other Poems, and this ended his dramatic career until his return from abroad. George Boker has hand signed this Vintage 4x3.5 Cut Signature from Dec 28, 1889 with Knowledge is Restless, imperfect and sad; Faith is serene and completed and joyful inscription.
