Description

Vintage matte-finish 8 x 10 portrait photo of the California Governor and Chief Justice, signed and inscribed in fountain pen, "To my brother Moose, Alvin Delaney, with the best wishes of Earl Warren.” In fine condition, with some silvering to Warren's dark jacket.

Warren was very active after 1919 in such groups as Freemasonry, the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, the Loyal Order of Moose (obtained the Pilgrim Degree of Merit, the highest award given in the fraternity), and the American Legion. He rose through the ranks in the Masons, culminating in his election in 1935 as the Grand Master of the Freemasons for the state of California from 1935 to 1936.
