LINDBERGH, CHARLES A.
<b>256. CHARLES A. LINDBERGH</b> Very rare D.S. "<i>C. A. Lindbergh</i>", 4pp. 12mo., "<i>Savoy Hotel</i>", London, May 30, 1927, a menu for a dinner given in honor of Lindbergh's achievement, held just days after his historic May 21st landing at Le Bourget in Paris. The front cover of the menu shows crossed American and British flags, reading: "<i>The Association of American Correspondents in London Dinner to Captain Charles Lindbergh...</i>". Within is a full-page caricature of Lindbergh showing him full-length with his plane's route in the background, boldly signed at upper-left. Interestingly, the dishes offered at the dinner bore names associated with Lindbergh and his flight, such as: "<i>Pommes Gazoline...Poussin Roosevelt Field... Asperges le Bourget...Fraises du Chavalier Lindbergh</i>" and so on. Some light toning in places, with vertical fold between pages split about 3" but not separated, some offsetting of signature, overall a terrific item for framing and display. Items signed by Lindbergh at the time of his flight are exceptionally rare and most desirable! <b>$2,000-3,000</b>
