Summary[edit]

Description
English: The recently widowed Mrs. Martin receives a reply. She mistakenly thought that the painting in question would be returned.
It first appeared as a poster and then on the cover of Foreign Service's May 1932 edition.
Date
Source This letter belonged to Lauretta Martin (1880–1972) and was passed down the family line.
Immediate source: my own copy
Author Longtime magazine editor, Barney Yanofsky.
Other versions Archived here: Ownership.

Other information: This shows that American Lithographic—with PM's assistance—sold the painting to Foreign Service. There is no other known source that can provide such evidence. The street name was purposely removed. This page is reachable via two links in "Paul Martin (illustrator)." Click "find in page." Enter "Ownership."
