Description

The remarkable shaping of Mount Rushmore’s Washington

Matte-finish 10.25 x 13.25 photo of the George Washington visage on Mount Rushmore, shown in half-profile with several workers rappelling the enormous sculpture, signed in the lower border in fountain pen, “Official, Gutzon Borglum.” Reverse bears a Publishers Photo Service copyright stamp. In fine condition. Accompanied by its original Mount Rushmore National Memorial mailing envelope. Seven years after it was begun, Washington’s head was finally completed and dedicated to the public on the fourth of July in 1934. A tremendous photo that captures the true scale of the enormous monument, the first of the four iconic faces to be revealed. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.
