Description

ALS signed “Chas. Addams,” one page, 4.5 x 7.25, The New Yorker letterhead, January 14, 1977. Handwritten letter to a collector, in part: "Thank you for your letter from the dim past—The Nicholls Gallery at 1014 Madison Ave, NYC…has some originals on hand—or I sometimes sell them directly thru the magazine. Some are within reason in price but would warn you that they start at around #300, sold directly and twice that at the gallery." In fine condition. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope, addressed in Addams's own hand.

From the personal collection of a lifelong collector, teacher, and traveler with a passion for world history. His collecting years ranged from the 1970s to the present day, meaning that several of the premier pieces have not been on the market in decades.
