Excellent combination of two items: an extremely sharp matte-finish 4.5 x 6.75 portrait of Barton by Purdy of Boston, signed in the lower border in fountain pen; and an ALS by Barton, two pages on two adjoining sheets, March 28, 1906, in part: “I am very happy to send a photo…You are in the vicinity of the ‘later work’ of which I speak, and would be glad if both yourself and Mr. Harwood could meet personally the efficient workers doing such faithful work at the Headqrs—Beacon St.” Nicely matted and framed together. In fine condition. Barton is uncommon in signed photos and this example boasts ideal provenance in her handwritten letter which also mentions her work. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.
