HELEN KELLER and POLLY THOMPSON. Matte finish 8x10 portrait of Helen Keller and her teacher/companion, Polly Thompson, jointly signed. Thompson signs in black fountain pen, while Keller, as usual,
inscribes in pencil, "To dear Grace Hammon/with affectionate greetings/from her two friends/Helen Keller/December 7th, 1948." Typically, Keller has written largely against darker areas of the photo, making the writing rather difficult to see
unless angled to the light, at which point it lights up like a Christmas tree. Fine condition, with light waviness to the top border and a few scattered surface bends to the background.
