[KENNEDY, JOHN & ROBERT; HOFFA, JIMMY] Original portrait drawings of the members of the United States Senate Select Committee on Improper Activities in Labor and Management.
[Washington:] August 1957. Comprising about 25 pencil portraits, some quite fine and several identified by name, of various senators on the committee and those testifying (including the Kennedys and Hoffa). The drawings are on three rectangular sheets, each about 18 x 8 inches, framed together forming an image about 54 x 9 inches, the central panel with an affixed card with the typed text "Faces of Investigators and Witnesses of the Senate Labor Hearings drawn from the Television" and signed indistinctly "George ? August 1957", a small clipping above the card relates to the hearings. Some soiling and spotting, not examined out of frame.
A compelling group of portraits of the major participants of the United States Senate Select Committee on Improper Activities in Labor and Management, including a portrait of John F. Kennedy, two of Robert Kennedy, and two of Jimmy Hoffa. The story of the Senate Committee investigation and Hoffa's disappearance was revisited recently in Martin Scorsese's The Irishman.
