Keller, Helen.
Christmas Card Signed With Autograph Dedication Also Signed. Lovely Christmas card, 4½ x 6", n.d., printed in France, depicting a reproduction of Jean Fouquet's Adoration of the Shepherds, with a folded printed insert salutation, on the left side of which Keller has signed, "Helen Keller," in pencil, above the signature of her friend PollyThomson. On the inside back cover of the card, Keller has pencilled a strikingly beautiful dedication:

"This box from Damascus is small but it has the property of the Arabian Nights of holding far more Love than can be seen. Helen."

Fine. Below Helen Keller's signature, following the dedication, her companion has also signed, "and Polly." This simple card communicates all the profound fullness of a very pure heart.
Estimated Value $325-375.
