Description

Lindy with the Spirit of St. Louis, signed during his 1972 conservation trip to Mexico

Glossy 10 x 8 full-length photo of Lindbergh posing outdoors with his record-setting monoplane, the Spirit of St. Louis, signed in black felt tip, “Charles A. Lindbergh, Mexico City, March 10, 1972.” In very good to fine condition, with scattered light creasing. Lindberg traveled to Mexico on a conservation trip in March 1972. While there he interviewed with local journalists and met with several Mexican officials and politicians to discuss measures to protect the gray whale of the Baja California peninsula. A photocopy of Lindbergh’s Mexican itinerary for March 10, 1972, is included.

The recipient of this photo was George A. Rylance, who worked with the U.S. Foreign Service for over 20 years and served as public affairs counselor at the U.S. Embassy in Mexico City from 1969 to 1973.
