ADOLF HITLER, PAUL VON HINDENBURG, FRANZ VON PAPEN SIGNED PHOTOGRAPH
THE ONLY KNOWN PHOTO SIGNED BY HITLER, HINDENBURG AND VON PAPEN, TAKEN IN 1933 Extraordinary rare signed photograph, overall 22 1/4" x 18 1/4", boldly signed on the mount by ADOLF HITLER, PAUL VON HINDENBURG and FRANZ VON PAPEN, the first example we have ever seen signed by all three statesmen. The mounted photograph, b/w, 14 7/8" x 10 7/8" depicts the three statesmen on a balcony at the Berlin Opera House during the service observing the Nations Day of Mourning [Volkstrauertag] honoring the world war dead on Sunday, March 12, 1933. A contemporary note attributes the photograph to Russel Muth, 20th Century Fox's Director of Foreign Distribution in Europe, mentioning his daily access to Hitler. The pencil signature below the image on the lower left below the image is illegible. The photographic paper has a slight damage to the emulsion, without distracting from the historic importance, on the lower right corner, 2 1/2" x 2 1/2", which has been professionally restored.
