Description
Four Unusual Items from Calvin Coolidge's Cuban Visit In January 1928, President Coolidge visited Havana for the Sixth Pan American Congress. It was apparently quite an event, as America, the liberator of Cuba only a few decades earlier, was then much beloved by Cubans. This fascinating group includes: 1) 16" x 16" blue cloth pillow case front, showing Coolidge with Cuba's President (and also Charles Lindbergh); 2) The colorful official program of the visit (one horizontal crease); 3) A large news service "poster," 18" x 12" with two scenes of the two Presidents, and 4) Perhaps most interesting, a miniature 3.75" x 2.5" stuffed fabric pillow picturing them as well. Apparently it was a "mock-up" promotional giveaway, as the reverse is marked, "Compliments of Photo-Fabric Co., Makers of Photographic Novelties on broadcloth...Boston, Mass." A really neat and surely unique grouping!Auction Info
