The note was written in a momentous month for Wainwright. On 5 September 1945, on his release after three years in captivity following his surrender at Corregidor, Wainwright was promoted to four-star General. On 10 September he was presented with the Medal of Honor by President Truman at the White House. On 13 September a ticker-tape parade in New York City was held in his honor. And on 28 September he was named commander of the Second Service Command and the Eastern Defense Command at Fort Jay, Governors Island, New York. The present item is 1p, landscape 8vo, on a piece of paper cropped down to 20.5 x 15.5 cm. Good firm signature. The text simply reads: 'Dear Mrs. Wines: / It gives me great pleasure to comply with your request for my autograph. / Sincerely, / [J. M. Wainwright] / J. M. Wainwright, / General, U. S. Army'.

Framed, with Archival Glass. Condition: Very Good. Original Artwork. Image 22 1/2" x 17", mounted on board with wood border around the image, with three strands of prison fence wire on original electrical mountings raised horizontally in front of the image. Original red tag with Japanese inscription, from the concentration camp in which Wainwright was held. Original art by General Wainwright, signed in pencil as "Wainwright" at lower right. A striking half-length portrait of Wainwright, emphasizing his emaciation and debilitation, with scenes of the concentration camp, torture, etc. in background. Unrestored, with some wear, and lacking one electrical connector of six, but carefully preserved in a deep glass-fronted frame of old wood, prepared by a conservator with no restoration of the image or wire. A fine depiction of the horrors of his experience, stark, complex, and with Modernist sensibilities. Almost certainly done in Australia soon after his release, perhaps during his recuperation in Australia. Wainwright retired to palm Springs; this art is from a Palm Springs estate but provenance unknown. Signed by Illustrator(s).
