INSCRIBED AND SIGNED BY PRESIDENT HOOVER
HOOVER, Herbert. Photograph signed. No place, no date. Photograph, measuring approximately 9 by 7 inches; framed. $250.
Fine sepia-toned silver-print photograph of Hoover, inscribed on the mount: "With Kind Regards of Herbert Hoover."
"Before, during, and after his presidency, Hoover was a transitional figure: a self-made, ruthless engineer who turned into a philanthropist and progressive reformer; a chief executive who practiced certain features of the modern presidency later associated with Roosevelt; and finally, a private citizen whose criticisms of both the New Deal and the Cold War would be resurrected in the 1960s among the 'New Left' and again in the 1990s among the 'New Right'" (ANB).
With wide margins, several circular spots in image, signature very clear. An attractive piece, some wear to frame.
