THEODORE ROOSEVELT (1858-1919)
Portrait photograph depicting Theodore Roosevelt with his grandson Kermit Jr ('Kim'), signed and inscribed on the margin 'For Mrs Joseph E. Willard with a Xmas greeting from Theodore Roosevelt Dec 25th 1916' (slight staining to margin, scratch mark with minor loss to lower section of image).

拍品专文

In June 1914, Theodore Roosevelt's son Kermit married Belle Willard, daughter of the U.S. Ambassador to Spain, Joseph E. Willard. Their first son was born eighteen months later. This photograph is therefore inscribed as a Christmas gift from one proud grandparent to another.
