ERASTUS CORNING II. Photograph inscribed and signed: "Best
regards to/Danny Franklin/Erastus Corning 2nd 12-1-69" as Mayor of
Albany, New York. B/w, Erastus Corning II (1909-1983) was the
longest-serving Major of a major American city, serving eleven terms
as Mayor of Albany (1941-1983). The grandson of Erastus Corning, who
was Mayor of Albany from 1834-1836, and the son of Edwin Corning, who was
New York's Lieutenant Governor from 1926-1928, Corning had begun his political
career in 1936 in the New York State Assembly. He then was a member of
the New York State Senate from 1937-1941, when he resigned upon becoming
Mayor. During Corning's service in WWII, a city councilman was acting mayor, but
Corning served ten full terms after the war, winning his last re-election in
1980. Slightly creased at blank margins and corners. Minor surface creases (most
not evident head on), some at facial image. Overall, fine
condition.
