Very early vintage matte-finish 7 x 9 Underwood and Underwood photo of a 30-year-old Johnson seated at his desk, signed and inscribed in fountain pen “For Charles Henderson, With the best wishes and regards of his friend—Lyndon B. Johnson, May 15, 1938.” Matted and framed, in its original frame, to an overall size of 10.75 x 12.75. In fine condition, with a light brush to a single word of inscription and some toning to mat. At the time of the photo, Johnson was representing Texas’s 10th congressional district in Washington, DC. He became a close ally to President Roosevelt, who quickly appointed him to the Naval Affairs Committee. Such early portraits from Johnson’s fledgling political career are quite uncommon. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
