Description

Original artwork of Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev by artist Blake Hampton, accomplished in ink and gouache on an off-white 12 x 15 sheet of artist paper, which is signed by Hampton along Khrushchev’s left leg.

In fine condition.

From the American Heritage Publishing Archives.

Since 1949 American Heritage has been the leading magazine of American history and culture. As historian Arthur Schlesinger, Jr. wrote, ‘American Heritage is everything a magazine of popular history should be – elegant, lively, informative, entertaining, and intelligent.’

Over the past half century, the staff of American Heritage Publishing assembled one of the largest and most comprehensive archives of American history and culture, comprising thousands of photographs, illustrations, engravings, and maps. Particularly strong in military and political history, the collection also spans a wide range of subjects, including the Old West, antique cars, aviation, film, and theatre.


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.
