Additional Details

From the Collection of attorney Samuel Slaff; by descent to the Present Owner. This Rothstein print was apparently gifted Slaff in recognition of his landmark Supreme Court case Edwards v. People of State of California 314 U.S. 160 (1941) in which a California law prohibiting the bringing of a non-resident "indigent person" into the state was struck down as unconstitutional.
