Description:

[ Autographs ] GEORGE BAKER (FATHER DIVINE) (1877 - 1965) American religious leader and founder of the Peace Mission movement, a communal religious society. D.S., the cover of his publication "The New Day", Sep. 28, 1939 showing a huge group of people dining at "GOD'S HOLY COMMUNION TABLE", with a smaller photo of the Divine at top seated and preparing to feast on the "200 items on the menu". Signed beside his image: "Rev. M. J. Divine". The "Rev" is light due to a faulty pen, yet the balance of the signature and the cover are very good. With two glossy photos of the preacher, one showing him before a jail cell after his arrest for assault. Signed images of Divine are exceedingly rare!
