Description

Rare portrait of the Citroen founder

French industrialist (1878–1935) best remembered for the make of car bearing his name. Vintage matte-finish 9 x 13 portrait of Citroen by Champlain Studios of New York, signed and inscribed in black ink, “To Matt Brush, With my warmest appreciation in souvenir of my visit—April 1923, Andre Citroen.” Blindstamped in the lower right by the photography studio. In very good condition, with a repaired tear to the upper border (repaired with tape to the front and touching the very top of the image), a spot of glossy residue to the left of his chest, and moderate contrast to the signature against the dark background; the image is exceptionally crisp and clear. RR Auction COA.
