Description

Theodore Roosevelt Photograph Inscribed and Signed as president. Measuring 10.25" x 14.25" (sight), Roosevelt is seen in this 1898, sepia-toned, chest length Pack Brothers image wearing suit and tie and ubiquitous pince-nez. Below the image, he has written: "Oct. 20th, 1904/with best wishes for the campaign association now formed in the district where I formerly lived. May good fortune attend you! Theodore Roosevelt."

Following the assassination of President William McKinley after only six months in office, forty-two year old Theodore Roosevelt, McKinley's vice president, was thrust into the Oval Office. Throughout his first term, he devised a strategy on how to legitimately win the presidency in 1904. Nominated unanimously by the GOP at the Republican National Convention, "Teddy" went on to defeat Alton Parker in a landslide.

A very fine image, elegantly matted and framed to an overall size of 18.5" x 23.75".
