Description

Rare 1937 portrait of ‘The Sage of Baltimore’ originally from the Lionel Aucoin collection

Popular and influential American author and journalist (1880–1956) best known for his satirical pieces that took aim at contemporary American society. Scarce vintage 7.75 x 9.5 paperstock photo, signed and inscribed in fountain pen to noted collector Lionel Aucoin, “For Lionel A. Aucoin, H. L. Mencken 1937.” In fine condition, with a light paperclip impression to top edge and a few light wrinkles and creases. Quite uncommon in signed photos, this is just the second one we have offered. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
