ANTON VAN WOUW. Autographed Letter (original). In handwriting and signed.

HERE'S A LOVELY ITEM FOR THE SERIOUS AUTOGRAPH COLLECTOR AND INVESTOR, DON'T MISS OUT ON THIS ONE. ANTON VAN WOUW WAS SOUTH AFRICA'S MOST FAMOUS SCULPTOR, WHO PRODUCED MANY SCULPTURES DEPICTING OUR HISTORICAL FIGURES - INCLUDING THAT OF PAUL KRUGER ON CHURCH SQUARE. DOCUMENTS WITH HIS SIGNATURE ARE RARE AND COLLECTABLE, PARTICULARLY IF THEY ARE COMPLETELY WRITTEN IN HIS HANDWRITING. THE LETTER IS WRITTEN IN INK IN HIS VERY NEAT HANDWRITING AND IS UNDER THE LETTERHEAD OF HIS STUDIO IN DOORNFONTEIN, JOHANNESBURG. IT IS DATED 28 MAY1938 AND IS ADDRESSED TO MY LOUIS ESSELEN, WHO WAS FOR MANY YEARS THE GENERAL SECRETARY OF SMUTS' UNITED PARTY. THE LETTER ALSO HAS HISTORICAL VALUE SINCE IT DEALS WITH A PROPOSED STATUE OF LOUIS BOTHA AND IT WOULD MAKE A GREAT ADDITION TO ANY COLLECTION OF SIGNATURES OF FAMOUS SOUTH AFRICANS.
