Lot 1821
Pennell, "That Liberty Shall Not Perish". 1918. Size: 30 x 40". On Linen. Strong colors. Edges show small tears, nicks and minor chipping; the linen is becoming somewhat frayed and there is foxing on the linen verso. Condition is difficult to classify -- most of the damage is around the edges and at the creases, as is to be expected, and application to linen has arrested any further damage, but additional restoration would secure the piece for the long-term future. Good to very good condition.
A disturbing image of America under attack, this use of the Statue of Liberty is extremely powerful and effective.
Estimated Value $400 - 500.
