[Charles Agvent]

Price reduced to $2000 NET

KELLER, Helen. SIGNED PHOTOGRAPH.   Wonderful 8" x 10" photograph of 
Keller standing and holding hands with her companion Polly Thomson, the 
two facing slightly toward each other. With a fine INSCRIPTION in pencil 
by Keller at the bottom half of the photo: "To: Mr. Carl E. Jackson/with 
pleasant memories/of his kindness." SIGNED by Keller in her typical 
pencil and by Thomson in ink. Photographs signed by Keller are quite 
uncommon; those with such a fine inscription as this are scarce. Keller 
almost always wrote in pencil, and with photographs often the lead did 
not take well to the image and all that remains is the impression from 
the pencil in the photo with none of the lead from the pencil. In this 
case, the writing is quite dark and legible, only hard to read when it 
crosses the dark coats worn by both women. In the original envelope 
addressed in Thomson's hand to Jackson at the U.S. Naval Hospital in 
Memphis. Fine. (#016772)        $2,500.00
