Stunning portrait of Lindbergh in Paris
Striking vintage 1927 matte-finish 5.25 x 7.75 portrait by G. L. Manuel Freres, affixed to an 8.5 x 12 mount, signed and inscribed in fountain pen, "To Mr. Laurence Hills, Charles A. Lindbergh”. Signed by the studio in the lower margin; the mount also bears a G. L. Manuel Freres label.
In fine condition, with silvering to the image mostly at dark areas near the lower edge, the mount has surface loss along its top edge and a few random stray pencil marks.
This historic image was taken just days following his historic transatlantic flight at the studio G. L. Manuel Frères in Paris. Lindbergh became the most famous man in the world overnight after landing at Le Bourget. The French press and major Parisian studios - including G. L. Manuel Frères, a prestigious portrait house - rushed to photograph him. These portraits became some of the earliest formal images of Lindbergh as an international hero.
