Description

Rockwell sends thanks to Alfred Pach for autographed art books along with a sketch and a humble admission: “I hope the rough sketch I am sending will not be too awful. I am not much on sketches.”

Illustrator whose works, many of which appeared on the cover of the Saturday Evening Post, offer a nostalgic, idealized view of everyday American life. TLS, one page, 6 x 6.75, personal letterhead, November 15, 1943. In part: “I feel very guilty about not having thanked you sooner for the beautiful autographed books…will be a swell beginning for my new art library…Very kind of your brother Walter Pach to autograph them to me. I hope the rough sketch I am sending will not be too awful. I am not much on sketches.” In fine condition, with scattered mild toning, faint paper clip impression to upper left corner. R&R COA.
