Desirable matte-finish 9.75 x 12.75 photo of Mount Rushmore from afar just after finishing George Washington’s face, boldly signed and inscribed in fountain pen, “Greeting to Mrs. Stoops, Sincerely yours, Gutzon Borglum, Mount Rushmore, South Dakota, July 23, 1934.” Framed to an overall size of 11.25 x 14.25. In fine condition, with the frame trivially obscuring the leftmost edge of the first letter in the date. Seven years after it was begun, Washington’s head was finally completed and dedicated to the public on the fourth of July in 1934. Covered with a giant American flag and unveiled in a magnificent ceremony, it was the first of the four iconic faces to be revealed. A magnificent photo showing the true scale of the enormous monument, signed shortly after Washington’s completion. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA.
