TLS - Typed Letter Signed
American artist and illustrator (1877–1960) best known for his iconic image of Uncle Sam saying ‘I Want You’ on a World War I recruiting poster. TLS signed “Monty,” one page, 8 x 10.25, personal letterhead, January 22, 1948. Witty correspondence sarcastically addressed to “Nicola Tesla.” In part the unedited text reads: “Thought youse shuting would get a snicker outen the crickshaw (Flagg for ‘caricature’) Did you like my title? As for a painting job—hah! You’d better talk to me in a little louder tone! You dont expect to eat at the Stork at Stewart’s prices? I remember how your solved your painting problem before when the Union tried to stick you! You got a can of paint and did it yourself! Speakin of my one-tramp show at the Feragil Cabinet d’Aiaance—Freddy Price wanted to show Tip’s pitcha in the window—but I was telling Al it seemed like too much of an imposition to get you to cart it way down there and back…they would have to charge me $25 as it would be a special for them—that was too much. I will be in the hole several hundred dollars as it is before my show opens! And Gawd knows if I’ll sell ONE pitcha! That’s the sad predicament of an aged artist who has no camera! And is hardly degenerate at all. Wurra! Tell our Vital Tip she’ll have to worry along at present with thie words I’ve taught her—expecting new shipments any day—you know there’s a frickin shortage!” In very good condition, with small tear along the right edge, irregularly trimmed edges, moderate toning (heavier along the right edge) and two asterisks noted by Flagg. A fabulous letter showing another creative outlet for the artist!
