BUSCH, August Anheuser, Sr (American, 1865-1934). Two signed documents (?Aug A. Busch?) framed together. Cleveland: February 11th 1909 and June 16, 1910. These documents are in relation to a lease between Anheuser-Busch and the Cleveland Cincinnati Chicago and Saint Louis Railroad Company for a building in Cincinnati. One document is the original signed lease, the other is an amendment (affixed to the upper portion of the lease) for a slight rent increase. Visible areas (8 x 8? and 3 x 8?; it appears that this has been matted in such a way where the entire lease document is present, but partially obscured by the mat to accommodate an engraved plaque). Creased, thumbsoiled, some tears, toning. Matted, framed and glazed (frame size: 23 x 12?). Framed with a small facsimile blueprint map of the property (the original map is kept in a paper pocket on the verso of the frame). Very good.
