Hirschfeld draws an oversize sketch of a talented OSS officer

Original oversized ink sketch of Charles Douglas Jackson (incorporating a single trademark “Nina” in his hairline) on an off-white 14 .25 x 21 piece of art board signed in black ink, “Hirschfeld.”In fine condition, with a couple strips of toning under image, and light toning to borders. Accompanied by two photocopies of letters of tribute to Jackson: one page TLS from Dwight D. Eisenhower, on his personal letterhead, dated November 1, 1961, beginning “I first met C. D. Jackson when he was serving in the Psychological Warfare Branch of the Allied Forces Headquarters in Algiers during the early days of World War II. Since that time we have been warm friends, and during the first two years of my Administration he was in charge of what has come to be known as the ‘cold war’ strategy of this country.”; and a one page TLS from Richard Nixon on his personal letterhead, dating December 13, 1961, with Nixon giving a tribute to Jackson and his “Health for Peace” initiative on behalf of the Children’s Asthma Research Institute and Hospital.
