A copper engraving (8x10.5 cm) on thick cream paper by Dutch artist Wim Zwiers showing a portrait of Frederick Delano Roosevelt above script taken from the president's State of the Union address in 1941, which is the essential human rights of freedom from want, freedom from fear, freedom of religion and freedom of speech. The image is a design for a Christmas card from Sheila, Richard and Norman Shaftel, undated, but monogrammed in pencil by the artist. The engraving is well protected by tissue within a stiff card folder.This engraving comes from the Franklin Delano Roosevelt collection of Frederick Baldwin Adams Jr, 1910 - 2001, the son of Ellen Walters Delano who was a first cousin to President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Adams became a passionate bibliophile who served as director of the Pierpont Morgan Library in New York City for two decades and compiled a significant personal collection relating to F.D.R. In 1969 he married his third wife who was a Swedish princess and with whom he shared the final years of his life in France. Adams' move to France explains the presence of his books in the United Kingdom. Fine Please contact Christian White Rare Books Ltd for more information or images of this item.
