Item #68449 Signed Photograph. Margaret SANGER

A Signed Photograph Of Sanger’s Portrait Displayed at the National Portrait Gallery [SANGER, Margaret]. Signed black-and-white photograph of Margaret Sanger by Ira L. Hill, [n.d.c.a. 1917-1930]. Gelatin silver print. (5 3/8 x 3 1/2 inches; 131 x 89 mm). Signed in pencil on the verso of the photograph in pencil and dated “Aug 18/31”. Some minor rubbing along edges. Bottom left corner with a tiny chip. A few light scratches and creases. Some tiny rust spots. But still image is clean and clear. Pencil signature on the verso, along with previous owner’s old ink notes. Overall a very nice copy of an important image. This is the same image of Sanger that is the one featured at the National Portrait Gallery, photographed by famed American photographer, Ira L. Hill. The National Portrait gallery states this about the photo: “This photograph was taken shortly after Sanger's thirty-day imprisonment in 1917 for opening her first birth control clinic. Shortly before her release, the police ordered her to submit to fingerprinting. When she refused, a prolonged physical struggle ensued, from which she emerged the winner.” This photo at the NPG was a gift of Margaret Sanger Lampe and Nancy Sanger Pallesen, granddaughters of Margaret Sanger. The date of this photo is in question, as there is another image from the same sitting which is part of the Los Angeles Public Library Photo Collection which states for it’s description “Studio portrait of Mrs. Margaret Sanger, Chairman of the National Committee on Federal Legislation for Birth Control. Mrs. Sanger will be one of the principal speakers at the Western States Conference on Birth Control and Population Problems to be held at the Biltmore Hotel. She is making her headquarters at the Biltmore Hotel. Photo dated: February 19, 1930.” This seems perhaps more accurate, as our photo is dated 1931. We could not find any other samples of this photograph at auction. [Together with]:
