Offered here is a 1p. printed DS, 8 1/2" x 14" (too large for our scanner to display in one image), a broadside printing of the poem "Washinton The Nation Builder" by poet Edwin Markham, "written at the request of the Bicentennial Commission at Washington, D.C., for distribution during the nine months' celebration of George Washington's Anniversary in 1932," signed "Your friend, Edwin Markham Staten Island, N.Y." MARKHAM (1852-1940) made his reputation by writing historical poems, his most famous being "The Man With the Hoe" (1898). In 1922, his poem "Lincoln, the Man of the People" was read by Markham at the dedication of the Lincoln Memorial. Markham was Poet Laureate of Oregon from 1923 to 1931. Minor margin wear (tip of top left corner gone), stray ink line in left margin, some ink smearing to signature area, otherwise very good.
