Our Autograph Gallery on Madison Avenue
Our Window on Madison Avenue is much more than a view into our autograph gallery. For more than 20 years it has been a window into history displaying pieces from our historical document and autograph collection, chosen from our inventory for their particular relevance to that day’s news and events.
Madison Avenue between 76th and 77th Street has a large number of neighborhood people walking by each day, many going to the Carlyle Hotel restaurant right next to us. Very few, if any, aren’t addicted to looking in The Window to see what we have from the past that continues to show that history is the basis of our understanding and appreciation of today’s events.
We have a new catalogue of featured autograph pieces available. Please contact office@kwrendell.com if you would like us to send you a copy of our catalogue.

Today, Tuesday, May 21, 2013, Exactly five years after Charles Lindbergh became the first person to fly solo nonstop across the Atlantic, Amelia Earhart followed in his footsteps. With this flight, she became the second person and the first woman to complete a solo flight across the ocean.
The flight was planned by Earhart and her husband, publisher George Putnam, in secret. Normally Putnam was a relentless promoter of her career but in the preparations for the flight, and for reasons unknown, they acted in secret. They even went as far as having a close personal friend of the couple, another aviator, prepare a decoy plane for the press. Earhart travelled with a copy of the May 20th local newspaper to prove her flight date and landed the following day in Northern Ireland.
