About the Item
1942 Calendar illustration featuring the First Lady of Haiti (Madame Elie Lescot]) rendered in a precise stipple effect and celebrating African-American women which was titled "Twelve American Women." It was executed during the hight of World War II. Lois Mailou Jones's husband was from Haiti.
The work is signed and additionally titled in her hand by Jones, and with nine lines of handwritten text about the modest accomplishments of Lescot (mostly about her social graces when her husband was ambassador in Washington), and she has drawn an additional Haitian symbol incorporating "L'Union fait la Force" on both sides, written beneath the drawing "Pen and ink drawing." Between the two symbols is the only printed element, a small calendar for September. Madame Lescot was the second wife of Elie Lescot. His regime was made up largely of light-skinned Haitians. They went into exile in 1946 when they were replaced by a military junta. Elegantly framed under glass.
