Beschreibung
Beschreibung:
Very Good (quite well-preserved). Small envelope-size folder, with blue cardboard covers Signed by Myers on the verso of the front cover: "Yours Ray R. Myers." Postmarked "Dudley, Dec. 5, 10 am, 1939." Addressed to Mrs. Frank Sculls, Dudley, Pa." No text, just the nine photographs. Ray R. Myers, also known as "The Armless Musician," was born with no arms in 1911 on a small farm near Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Myers' parents were approached by a circus wanting to employ young Ray when he was just three years old. His parents declined the offer, choosing for their son to enjoy a normal childhood-as normal as possible. Myers grew up learning to be self-sufficient and learned to play guitar masterfully with his feet. He was adept at practically everything using his feet and even getting a driver's license. A scarce souvenir folder, especially signed by Myers. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 56809

Soft cover. Zustand: Good. No Jacket. Printed folder, approx. 6.5" x 4.25" containing, within, a Leporello sequence of nine crude halftone photographs of Myers in poses calculated to show his unusual physical adaptations. The folder is signed in blue "Yours Ray R. Myers." A native son of Lancaster PA, born 1911, the arc of his career began at the Chicago World's Fair, 1933, moved on into live performances on the radio, and, despite lacking two limbs, progressed into a one-man touring company, wherein he was said to have driven his automobile solo throughout the Southern states, doing country music. He died in 1986. A good+ copy. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers E-54/26
