Baily. Signed by Frost in bold fountain pen ink to the lower mount of the card presentation frame, 'Robert Frost (on the fence) sitting pretty with Harold J. Baily sitting prettier' and dated at Ripton, August 1958 in Frost's hand. Some very light, minimal age wear, VG Harold James Baily (1887-1964) American lawyer and art collector, a friend of the poets Frost and Archibald MacLeish whose poetry Baily also collected.
