BAKER, GEORGE (FATHER DIVINE)
(1877 - 1965) American religious leader and founder of the Peace Mission movement, a communal religious society. D.S., the cover of his publication ""The New Day"", Sep. 28, 1939 showing a huge group of people dining at ""GOD'S HOLY COMMUNION TABLE"", with a smaller photo of the Divine at top seated and preparing to feast on the ""200 items on the menu"". Signed beside his image: ""Rev. M. J. Divine"". The ""Rev"" is light due to a faulty pen, yet the balance of the signature and the cover are very good. With two glossy photos of the preacher, one showing him before a jail cell after his arrest for assault. Signed images of Divine are exceedingly rare!
