Uncommonly early vintage matte-finish 8.5 x 11 half-length portrait of Hoover in a handsome and youthful pose, signed and inscribed in fountain pen, "To Dr. Charles D. Hart, President, Philadelphia Council, Boy Scouts of America. With best wishes for continuation of a noble and indispensable work, J. Edgar Hoover, 7/3/36.” In fine condition, with trimmed borders. At the time he signed this photo, Hoover had been Director of the FBI for just over a year; he would go on to serve in that position for nearly 36 more years.
