Description

Profound quote from Justice Holmes

Supreme Court Justice. AQS on an off-white 5 x 3 page. Holmes pens an excerpt from a speech he gave in 1897. In part, “The differences between the great way of taking things and the small - between philosophy and gossip…between realizing the part as a part of a whole and looking at it with isolation as if it really stood apart.” Signed at the conclusion, “Oliver Wendell Holmes,” and dated February 3, 1930. In fine condition, with collector’s typed notations, punch holes to left edge and mounting remnants to three corners. R&R COA.
