19442727841944. unbound. Inscribed in a calligrapher's hand: "To E.L. Alperson for his help in the fight against infantile paralysis" no date circa 1944. Alperson 1895 - 1969 was an American film producer at Warner Brothers who later formed Grand National Distributors as an outlet for independent films in the 1940s. In 1942 he became the general manager of RKO Pictures' theater circuit and it is likely that his work with the March of Dimes earned him this personally signed engraving from the President. 13.75 x 10.5 inches set in a gorgeous wood burgundy stained frame measuring 17 x 14 inches. Roosevelt has signed this boldly with a brown fountain pen. The engraving has a few scattered small spots but is still in near fine condition.<br/><br/> Evidence suggests that Roosevelt signed this piece in early 1944. In February 1943 motion picture theaters organized a drive to raise funds for the March of Dimes. On his birthday January 30 in 1944 Roosevelt signed lithographs such as this one in order to thank those whose work helped make the drive successful. According to auction records Roosevelt presented a similar engraving to Frank Meyer an executive at Paramout Pictures Corporation. Accompanying Meyer's engraving when it was sold at auction was a copy of a book titled "So They May Walk Again.A Book of good Deeds / Report of Collectors by Motion Picture Theatres / March of Dimes / February 18 to 24 1943 / In Co-Operation with National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis."<br/><br/> unknown books
