Founder of IBM (1874-1956), he built it into one of the most powerful companies in the world, was one of the richest men of his time and called the world's greatest salesman when he died. Vintage matte-finish 11 x 14 photo of Watson posting beneath a sign emblazoned with IBM's famous slogan, "THINK," signed and inscribed across the bottom in fountain pen, "To Mr. & Mrs. Kenneth H. Browne, with best wishes from Thos. J. Watson, 5/31/50.” In very good to fine condition, with very poor contrast to the signature and inscription, and a bit of surface scuffing toward the top.
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.
