Description

Joseph McCarthy

Reviled American legislator (1908–1957) whose dogged pursuit and persecution of would-be Communists in the early 1950s remains one of the most notorious episodes in the annals of American government. Uncommon vintage glossy 6.75 x 8.5 photo of McCarthy relatively early in his career, signed and inscribed in fountain pen, “To M. W. Espy, Jr., With sincere good wishes, Joe McCarthy.” Light overall rippling, moderate irregular adhesion to areas of the inscription and signature, adhesive remnants to the right of his head, and slightly trimmed edges, otherwise very good condition. RR Auction COA.
