Description

Leader of Spain (born 1892) from 1939 until his death in 1975, who came to power after overthrowing the elected government during the Spanish Civil War. Vintage matte-finish 3.5 x 5.25 profile photo of Francisco Franco with medals on his chest and lapels, signed in fountain pen with date below, “21-4-957.” Reverse bears a Jalon Angel photo stamp. In fine condition, with light silvering the edges. Ángel Hilario García de Jalón Hueto (1898-1976), better known as Jalón Angel, was one of the most prominent figures of portraiture photography in Spain during his 50 years of professional career, until his death in 1976.

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.
