Description

“I was fortunate enough to...see the splendidly executed animated figure of President Lincoln”

TLS, one page, 7 x 10.25, personal letterhead, Gettysburg, October 6, 1964. Letter to a WGN executive. In full: “When I was at the World’s Fair the other day I was fortunate enough to visit the Illinois Pavilion and see the splendidly executed animated figure of President Lincoln. There was presented to me at that time a medallion bearing the Brenner Lincoln profile. Since I know the profile replica came to be by virtue of your interest and that of WGN, I did want to send you this word of thanks.” In very good condition, with a moderate central block of toning from previous display, a tear to the lower border, and slight haloing to the signature. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
