American lawyer, government official, author, and lecturer (1904–1996), famously accused of being a Soviet spy in 1948 and convicted of perjury in connection with this charge in 1950. Glossy 8 x 10 photo, a later copy of a press photo of Hiss at the height of his notoriety, signed and inscribed in person in black ink, “To Barry Hoffman, Alger Hiss.” In fine condition. This photo was acquired in-person during a luncheon with Hiss. After the collector presented the photos to sign, Hiss commented that he couldn’t remember signing photos of himself before. This photo represents one of the two we’ve ever seen; the other was acquired by the same collector at the same time.
