Description
Geronimo Signed 1904 World's Fair Postcard. Scarce signature"Geronimo" in pencil on the verso of a 1904 St. Louis Postcard, 5.5" x 3.5", featuring the Tyrolean Alps of Germany. Geronimo attended the Fair as a prisoner, and personally signed this postcard for Swiss businessman M. Grimmer, who enthusiastically wrote on the postcard "I met Chief Geronimo!" Grimmer's handwriting is in the old Sütterlin style of German blackletter cursive, common in Switzerland and other Germanic countries at the turn of the century. The postcard is accompanied by a signed letter of provenance by the agent who obtained the postcard directly from the Grimmer family.Auction Info
