^Lot 614 H. L. Mencken

Popular and influential American author and journalist (1880–1956) best known for his satirical pieces that took aim at contemporary American society. Scarce vintage 7.75 x 9.5 paperstock photo, signed and inscribed in fountain pen to noted collector Lionel Aucoin, “For Lionel A. Aucoin, H. L. Mencken 1937.” In fine condition, with a light paperclip impression to top edge and a few light wrinkles and creases. Quite uncommon in signed photos, this is just the second one we have offered.
