Description
Calvin Coolidge Signed Photograph by Garo, 9.5" x 12.5" overall with an image size of 7.5" x 9.25". Signed, inscribed, and dated 1923 by Coolidge in the lower area in ink and also signed in pencil "Garo" by the photographer John Garo, the Armenian-born, Boston-based studio-portrait photographer who played a part in the early training of Josef Karsh. Of some small irony, the man who presided over America during its most flamboyant era, "The Roaring Twenties," was known as "Silent Cal." While the newspapers were filled on a daily basis with the exploits of Lindbergh, Ruth, Dempsey, Earhart, and Capone, Calvin Coolidge quietly went about the business of running the country. Unfortunately, his relatively passive approach let the excesses build to the point where his successor Herbert Hoover would inherit an economy approaching meltdown. Fine condition save for a bit of silvering and a couple of edge creases.Auction Info
