Vintage matte-finish 7 x 9.25 Wilson Mantor bust portrait, signed and inscribed in fountain pen on its original 10 x 13.5 mount, “To Thomas W. Dewart, Sincerely, Charles A. Lindbergh, June 1933.” Photo is housed in its original presentation folder. In fine condition, with a crack to the mount as well as missing top right corner tip, and edge wear, light dampstaining, and a partial separation to hinge of folder.
Lindbergh became an All-American hero when he made the first non-stop flight across the Atlantic from May 20-21, 1927, flying from New York to Paris in the Spirit of St. Louis, a single-engine monoplane. He signed this portrait in 1933 for Dewart, the president and publisher of the influential New York Sun newspaper. Dewart’s father, William T. Dewart, had invited Lindbergh to The Sun Club on July 16, 1927 where the aviator was presented with a silver copy of Harold Anderson's famous editorial, ‘Lindbergh Flies Alone,’ which had been written while the pilot was still in flight. A great photo with direct ties to his famous 1927 nonstop transcontinental flight.
