Signed sepia-toned cabinet card photo of Samuel Francis Smith, the man who wrote the
hymn America
Photograph Mount signed: "S. Fr. Smith." B/w sepia-toned, 4¼x6 overall, image 4x5¼ (two
surfaces). After a visit to Germany in 1831, 23-year-old theological student Samuel
Francis Smith (1808-1895), impressed that German children started their school day by
singing a hymn, wrote a patriotic hymn using a simple German melody. Coincidentally,
the melody was the same as that of the British national anthem, "God Save the King". Smith
jotted down the complete hymn on a piece of scrap paper within half an hour, and the
result, "America", was first sung at a children's celebration in Boston's Park Street
Church on July 4, 1832. George Gershwin used Smith's phrase "Of Thee I Sing" as the title of
his 1932 Pulitzer Prize-winning musical, and the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. quoted
the entire first stanza as he concluded his "I have a dream" speech in front of the Lincoln
Memorial in 1963. Stray ink smudge on mount above signature. Slightly soiled at upper left and
right edges of mount. Otherwise, fine condition.
Typed letter in Hebrew, signed as President of Israel, thanking a retiring cabinet
minister: "my friend and dear teacher" Yehuda Leib Fishman (Maimon).
TLS: "Chaim Weizmann" in Hebrew as President of Israel, 1 page, 6½x8¾. No place,
1951 October 8. On letterhead of the State of Israel to the Honorable Rabbi Yehuda Leib
Fishman (Maimon). In Hebrew, translated. In full: "It is not a parable to tell you your
honor, my friend and dear teacher, that I have the privilege to work with you for more
than 20 years, and I recognize and respect your actions for more than 40 years. Today,
when you leave the table of government, I tell you what is in my heart. I don't know
anyone from the senior office of the Zionist Movement that awakens in me more honor in
his beliefs than you." A carbon copy of this letter was sent to Prime Minister David
Ben-Gurion. Russian-born chemist and Zionist CHAIM WEIZMANN (1874-1952) was
President of the World Zionist Organization (1920-1930, 1935-1946) and the first
President of Israel from 1949 until his death on November 9, 1952, just 13 months after he
signed this letter.
His extremely rare signed cabinet photograph (4x5)
Cabinet Photograph signed: "S.F. Smith." Sepia, 4x6½ overall,

Glued to a 7x9½ sheet that has been affixed to a 9½x11½ page. Captioned:
"The Notman Photographic Co. Limited/3 Park Street-2184 Boylston Street,

23-year-old theological student Samuel Francis Smith (1808-1895), impressed that
