About the Item
Story illustration for “The Invisible Client” by Melville Davisson Post, published in American Magazine, December 1926, pages 20-21.
The full caption reads: “The nephew, advancing, stopped. The hypocrite within appeared. He made little gesture. ‘I am obliged. It was thoughtful. I will read it when I have the leisure.’ Colonel Braxton faced him. When he spoke the courtesy of his voice held more of menace than any shouted threat: ‘It would be a gracious act to sign it now, on this day. The execution of it would put you in high regard. Let me persuade you.’”

It is attractively framed and ready to hang in a dark brown frame with a decorative motif. This piece was purchased by our gallery directly from the daughter of W. H. D. Koerner (1878 - 1938).
