Lot of eight vintage photos of noted authors and social commentators, each approximately 8 x 10, individually signed and inscribed in ink or fountain pen by the following: Clare Boothe, Stuart Chase, George Fielding Eliot, H. V. Kaltenborn, Jan Masaryk, Paul Schubert, Alexander P. de Seversky, and Wythe Williams. In overall very good to fine condition, with Masaryk's signature virtually invisible.
From the autographed portrait collection of Harry Friedgut, the first managing director of the New York City Center of Music and Drama. A champion of New Jersey’s musical arts, Friedgut also served as the first managing director of the Griffith Music Foundation and as the Vice President and Business Manager of the Essex County Symphony Society, through which he directed the Town Hall series and organized the very successful summer stadium concerts.
