    Description

    We have acquired the photographic material of a columnist in Chicago.  This person is retired and has sold the photographic material sent to her by studios and publicists for her column.  These studio and publicity photographs are all original.
    For the ultimate fan of the legendary Jerry Lewis, Sammy Davis Jr., and the history of United States television.  For forty five years, Jerry Lewis hosted a yearly National
    MDA Telethon, eventually establishing a mainstay in American television with his yearly Labor Day MDA telethons that generated millions of dollars to fight the disease.  This very rare original press photo, announcing the airing of the telethon in the Tri-State New York area in 1989
    and featuring Mr. Lewis performing with his dear friend and New York host for that year Sammy Davis, Jr., is a rare find.  It contains the press synopsis on the front of the picture, given only to members of the press and not for sale.  Very g
    ood used condition.  No tears.  Small creases and wear on edges.
