Lot 304
Wainwright, Jonathan and Three Others. Four signed silhouettes executed in the 1920s-40s by noted silhouette artist Beatrix Sherman, who always had her subjects sign the silhouette which she kept for herself: A 4 in. bust silhouette signed, "To Beatrix Sherman, Sincerely, J.M. Wainwright, Gen’l. U.S.A. (Ret)." The general’s four stars are clearly visible. Two full-length silhouettes in c. World War I cavalry uniform: "M.S. Daniels, Capt. 3rd. Cav." and "Chas. H. Ceorl (?), the adjutant general of Ga." One is 10 in.; the other is 10½ in. tall. The fourth silhouette is full length, 10¼ in. tall, signed "Charles I. Carpenter, Chaplain (Major General) USAF, Chief of Air Force Chaplains"; this piece has minor soiling to the card. All of the others are fine. (4 items).
Estimated Value $200 - 300.
