Description

American scientist and inventor (1909-1991) who pioneered inexpensive polarizing filters and, with his development of 'instant' photography, built his company, Polaroid, into an industry giant. TLS signed “Edwin Land,” one page, 8.5 x 11, Polaroid Corporation letterhead, August 4, 1965. Letter to Leon Gutterman, president and publisher of Wisdom Magazine. In full: "Thank you for your letter of June 11th telling me of the Wisdom Award of Honor to me. I am happy to know that you think I am worthy of being associated with the list of eminent recipients you have chosen in the past." In fine condition.

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.
