EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a significant piece of history - a receipt signed by the legendary Fats Waller himself on March 1,1937. Fats Waller, an immensely talented African-American jazz musician and entertainer, left his mark not only through his music but also in the world of finance. The receipt is a fascinating glimpse into Waller's financial transactions during the 1930s. It bears witness to a payment of $150.00, with pre-printed fields meticulously filled in by hand. A stamp from Levitt and Lorentz Accountants adorns the right side of the front, adding an air of professionalism to this document. Flipping it over reveals intriguing markings - numbers crossed out and others untouched - hinting at further financial intricacies that remain shrouded in mystery. This enigmatic aspect adds another layer to our understanding of Waller's life beyond his musical genius. Preserved within this ink-on-paper relic lies not just monetary value but cultural heritage as well. As an important figure in black history, Fats Waller broke barriers and paved the way for future generations with his extraordinary talent and charisma. Now housed within the National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC), this artifact serves as a testament to both Waller's legacy and America's rich jazz tradition. Its presence reminds us that artistry extends beyond artistic expression alone; it encompasses every facet of life, including finance. Through this print captured by an unknown creator, we are granted access to a moment frozen in time - one where music intertwines with commerce, leaving behind traces that continue to resonate today.
