Description

Portrait presented to 'Toastmaster General' George Jessel

Glossy 8 x 10 photo of Governor Ronald Reagan standing alongside his friend, actor and comedian George Jessel, signed and inscribed in black felt tip, "Dear George, Our paths should cross more often—but still your friendship is warm & treasured—Ron.” In very good to fine condition, with scattered light creasing and a small tear to the lower right edge. Jessel was widely known by his nickname, the 'Toastmaster General of the United States,' for his frequent role as the master of ceremonies at political and entertainment gatherings. A proud Republican, Jessel campaigned for Reagan during the latter's push for the presidency in 1980.
