Mother of Charles Lindbergh. Highly uncommon, vintage matte-finish 8.5 x 11 photo of Lindbergh’s mother clutching her pearl necklace and wearing an aviation pin in support of her son, signed in fountain pen, “Sincerely, Evangeline L. Lindbergh.” In fine condition, with three punch holes to left edge and some light contrast to signature.

This is one of the most historical pictures ever taken of Charles’ mother, on June 11, 1927. His mother is proudly awaiting his return on the USS Memphis, the boat upon which he landed at the New York harbor. There are very few photos that exist of Charles mother, let alone one directly related to an important Lindbergh aviation event. To have a signed photograph of this very important moment—her cherished son’s return—makes it one of the most important historical photos related to the Lindbergh family. This comes from the personal collection of Barry Friedman, one of the leading Charles Lindbergh historians.
