Signature / Unsigned Photograph
Author:
AIKEN, George D. (1892-1984)
Title:
Signature / Unsigned Photograph
Description:
Vermont governor and senator (1941-75), a leader in legislation that created the St. Lawrence Seaway. Bold signature on a heavy stock 5" X 3" card, n.p., 1969 July 9 (in type). Fine. Accompanied by a superb and scarce vintage glossy 7" X 9" news agency photograph (International News Photo). Near fine. This candid informal closeup of 21 March 1956 shows the senator in suit, bow tie and overcoat, tipping his hat. The still-attached mimeographed text (printed on cheap newsprint stock and usually absent, but here in very good condition) captions this image "After White House Parley on Farm Bill," and reads in part: "Senator George D. Aiken, Vermont Republican, the administration's farm leader in the Senate, is shown leaving the White House after attending a Republican legislative leaders' meeting yesterday...." A desireable vintage image.
