Description

“Leigh was one of the artists with the Akeley expedition, sent out by the American Museum”

TLS signed “Geo. Eastman,” one page, 8.5 x 7, Eastman Kodak Company letterhead, November 12, 1929. Letter to Jerome Milkman. In part: “Mr. Leigh was one of the artists with the Akeley expedition, sent out by the American Museum. Not being very well acquainted with him I did not remember his name. No doubt you can get further information in regard to him from the Museum.” Intersecting folds (one vertical fold passing through a single letter of the signature), overall wrinkling due to light scrapbook adhesive remnants to reverse, and possibly trimmed edges, otherwise fine condition. The artist referenced is William Robinson Leigh, who accompanied Carl Akeley on his expedition to Africa in 1926. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
