Description
Up for auction is a lovely photograph of Franklin Delano and Eleanor Roosevelt for Christmas 1941. They've signed their names in fountain pen on the photograph. Dimensions: The photograph measures approximately 10" across by 8" high. Condition: The photograph is in excellent condition, though not perfect. Slight fingerprints are on either side of FDR's head, and there's a small rust mark on Eleanor's skirt. Neither detracts from the image.The writing is fully legible, Eleanor's signature is slightly lighter than FDR's. Other:When featured on Antiques Roadshow (the transcript can be found at www.pbs.org/wgbh/roadshow/archive/200605A07.html) the appraiser had this to say:Appraiser: That's a very striking image. She is knitting, he is reading, and they're just presenting a home life to America, even though the country is at war. And the wonderful thing is that the photograph is signed by BOTH. . . . so this photo by itself at auction would probably sell for about $3000 to $4000.
