Description

Herbert H. Lehman (1878-1963).  He was a Democratic Party politician from the U.S. state of New York. He served as the Governor of New York from 1933 until 1942, and represented New York in the United States Senate from 1949 until 1957.  Lehman was the son of Ashkenazi immigrant Mayer Lehman, one of the three founders of the Lehman Brothers investment banking firm. He resigned from Lehman Brothers upon becoming the lieutenant governor of New York in 1929. He then served four terms as the Governor of New York between 1933 and 1942. Unlike Al Smith, Lehman was a supporter of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal policies and implemented a program in the same spirit in New York.  Afterwards, he was a Senator from New York from 1949 to 1957. In a special election, Lehman beat John Foster Dulles, who had been appointed to temporarily fill Robert F. Wagner's Senate seat. In that campaign he ran on the Democratic and Liberal Party lines, with the American Labor Party making no endorsement. Lehman then served most of the remainder of Wagner's term, before winning a full term in the Senate in 1950.  Certificate of Authenticity from Pages of History provides a lifetime guarantee of authenticity.  We are full time autograph and document dealers registered with the UACC (#036), and members of the Manuscript Society.  Optional insurance is available at my cost for US deliveries only.  Payments must be by Pay Pal.  We regret that we cannot be responsible for loss or damage on uninsured lots.
