In part: “I have been given much pleasure in reading the old volume on Country Life, and it is naturally of close association to me in containing a picture of our view from Hyde Park—one which I did not know had been reproduced in this way. I am also glad to have your charming book plate. Like you I am a lover of books, though my collection has run mostly to two specialties—the American Navy and the Hudson River….” Matted and framed with a photo to an overall size of 23 x 15. Intersecting folds (vertical fold to “R”), light creasing and wrinkling, and mild handling wear, otherwise fine condition. Auction LOA John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and R&R COA.
