Artist and author (1857–1926) who produced a vivid Liberty Loans campaign poster in 1918 for the war effort. ALS, two pages both sides, 6 x 9.5, Hotel Margaret letterhead, September 19, 1925. Letter reads, in part: “You may think me a grasping rapacious personage but it is not the reputation I have, but I must enforce my rights. These unsigned prints have no right to be taken from the publications in which they were sold, but there are people—dealers—who make a business of doing so as has been done in this case…It may interest you to know that I do all I can to prevent this dealing in unsigned prints.” In fine condition, with rough bottom edge to second page. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope addressed in Pennell’s hand, and signed in the return address area, “Pennell.” RR Auction COA.
