Highly impressive vintage matte-finish 16.5 x 22.75 bust-length portrait of President Roosevelt by Harris & Ewing circa 1907, signed in the lower border in fountain pen, "with the regards of, Theodore Roosevelt, May 11th, 1907." Blindstamped in the lower right corner by the photography studio. In very good to fine condition, with trimming, tack holes, and staple holes to the top border, wear to corner tips, and soiling to the mount; matting and framing would produce quite a stunning display. A few weeks before signing this portrait, President Roosevelt signed into law the Immigration Act of 1907, a part of a series of reforms aimed at further restricting the increasing number of immigrants coming into the US before and after World War I. An imposing uninscribed portrait of Roosevelt.
