framed. Condition: near fine. Portrait photo of Bernard Baruch with inscription "To Beatrice with affectionate regards from Bernie" and signature "B M Baruch 1945". Photo from Harris & Ewing, which in the early 20th century was the largest news photo service in the United States. They also served as the official White House photographer and the city's most noted portrait photographers from 1905 to 1955. Bernard Mannes Baruch was an American financier and statesman. After amassing a fortune on the New York Stock Exchange, he impressed President Woodrow Wilson by managing the nation's economic mobilization in World War I as chairman of the War Industries Board. He advised Wilson during the Paris Peace Conference. He made another fortune in the postwar bull market, but foresaw the Wall Street crash and sold out well in advance. In World War II, he became a close advisor to President Franklin D. Roosevelt on the role of industry in war supply, and he was credited with greatly shortening the production time for tanks and aircraft. Later he helped to develop rehabilitation programs for injured servicemen. In 1946, he was the United States representative to the United Nations Atomic Energy Commission, though his Baruch Plan for international control of atomic energy was rejected by the Soviet Union.

Baruch, Bernard M. Typed letter written to Lieutenant General Leslie R. Groves, the United States Army officer who directed the Manhattan Project during World War II and oversaw the development of the first atomic weapons. Bernard M. Baruch served as an influential financier and government advisor on economic policy and national defense across several presidential administrations and later became associated with postwar debates over international control of atomic energy. Written in 1962 during the Cold War nuclear era, the letter reflects on the extraordinary responsibilities carried by Groves during the wartime atomic program and acknowledges Baruch's own involvement in policy discussions related to nuclear weapons and international security. Baruch, Bernard M. Typed Letter Signed ("B. M. B."). August 21, 1962. One page on personal letterhead measuring approximately 7.75 x 9.75 inches, addressed to Lieutenant General Leslie R. Groves. In the letter Baruch expresses appreciation for birthday wishes and reflects on Groves's wartime leadership, writing in part: "That was a particularly gracious and heartwarming letter you sent to note my birthday. I do appreciate your good wishes. Even more, I appreciate the knowledge that I was able to be of some help to you in those days when you carried one of the heaviest burdens any man ever carried." Baruch also references a well known remark associated with General Douglas MacArthur, noting: "I like your amendment to the MacArthur dictum. If we could only find men who have the vigor of youth and the wisdom of experience we could overcome all our problems." The letter is signed in ink with Baruch's initials "B. M. B." The correspondence connects two figures associated with the political and military leadership of the United States during the atomic age. Groves supervised the Manhattan Project from 1942 through the end of the war, coordinating the vast scientific and industrial effort that produced the atomic bombs used against Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Baruch later became a leading advocate for international regulation of nuclear weapons through the 1946 Baruch Plan presented to the United Nations. References in the letter to MacArthur's well known reflections on youth recall a widely circulated poem by Samuel Ullman that the general frequently quoted in speeches and writings. Light handling wear; overall excellent condition. A concise piece of correspondence linking two prominent figures associated with the development and political legacy of nuclear weapons in the twentieth century. Signed.

A portrait of Bernard Baruch signed to humorist Harry Hershfield. It reads, "For Harry Hershfield who radiates sunshine and good feeling wherever he goes with appreciation and best wishes from one who has basked in that sunshine BM Baruch 1952." ÂHershfield was anÂAmericanÂcartoonist,ÂhumorÂwriter and radio personality.ÂHe was known as "the Jewish Will Rogers". He also was a columnist for the New York Daily Mirror. His books include Laugh Louder, Live Longer and Now I'll Tell One. As a comics artist he is best remembered for his newspaper comic Abie the Agent. The image measures 7.75 inches by 10.75 inches. Double matted and framed. The entire piece measures 22.5 inches by 18.5 inches. A nice association, uncommon with such a warm inscription. Bernard Baruch was an American financier, stock investor, philanthropist, statesman, and political consultant. After his success in business, he devoted his time toward advising U.S. Presidents Woodrow Wilson and Franklin D. Roosevelt on economic matters. Baruch was well-known, and often walked or sat in Washington, D.C's Lafayette Park and in New York City's Central Park. It was not uncommon for him to discuss government affairs with other people while sitting on a park bench. This became his most famous characteristic. In 1960, on his ninetieth birthday, a commemorative park bench in Lafayette Park across from the White House was dedicated to him by the Boy Scouts. He continued to advise on international affairs until his death on June 20, 1965, in New York City, at the age of 94. His funeral at Temple Shaaray Tefila, the family synagogue, was attended by 700 people. His grave is at Flushing Cemetery, Flushing, Queens, New York City.
