Vintage ink signature, “Henry Ford,” on an off-white 3 x 2 card. The card is presented with (and appears to be mounted to the inside cover of) a 1920 booklet titled “The International Jew: The World’s Foremost Problem,” a collection of reprints from the Ford-owned newspaper The Dearborn Independent. Ford’s relationship with Judaism remains one of the most complex and troubling aspects of his personality. One one hand, he enjoyed genuinely respectful personal relationships with such prominent Jews as architect Albert Kahn. Still, Ford’s public statements on the Jewish “problem” and his blatant use of the Independent as an organ for his rather blunt views point to an unequivocal anti-Semitism that has shadowed his legacy to the present day. Matted and framed to an overall size of 15.25 x 13.25. In fine condition. R&R COA.
