MENCKEN, H. L. PHOTOGRAPH SIGNED. Superb 7-1/2" x 9-1/2"
photographic portrait of a stern-looking, just short of a smile
Mencken INSCRIBED by him "Jack [?],/with best regards" and SIGNED in
1937. The photograph is not credited but is likely by Pinchot as we
have seen one other similar image that was not signed. Mencken is
scarce in signed photographs. Small smudge away from Mencken and his
inscription and apparently part of the image. Few pencil notes on
verso. Striking portrait of the master satirist & crusading
journalist. $3500.00
