In original American beginning of 20th century Art Nouveau style gesso and hand-carved parcel gilded cassette frame by A. E. Schneider, Seattle ()label on the back). Enclosed is a postcard written by the sitter Charles Henri Ford, a poet and a writer and brother of actress Ruth Ford, autograph note signed, New York, 22 December 1975, to fellow poet Diane di Prima, asking her to send a postcard with message and stamped for his exhibition. He instructs her to send it to him (his name) so this has both a printed and a script autograph. Interestingly, the card he selected is of a work by Pavel Tchelitchew, then deceased but had been Ford's longtime lover.
