RAND, Ayn. Photograph, inscribed and signed ("Ayn"), by Jack Woods, n.p., n.d. [ca. 1950], 8x10 in. Publicity shot of a smiling Rand with a copy of her first great success, The Fountainhead. WARMLY INSCRIBED TO "THE BOY ON THE BICYCLE", "To Nathan-/-who is 'the boy on the bicycle'- with my love Ayn" and dated June 20, 1951. An uncharacteristically bold inscription from Rand. It was the profound effect of reading The Fountainhead at age 14 that propelled a young Branden into the author's life and a long and tumultuous association. Rand acknowledges her early influence by referring in her inscription to a scene in the novel where a young college graduate, searching for meaning in his life, comes across the extraordinanry architectural achievement of Howard Roark. Through witnessing Roark's genius, he thereby "gains the courage to face a lifetime."
