Description

Candid Signal Corps photo of Roosevelt mingling with the troops, under the protection of a ‘Tommy Gun’

Vintage glossy 10 x 8 US Army Signal Corps photo of Roosevelt talking to a photographer while he eats outdoors, a man behind him with a Thompson sub-machine gun at his side, signed in fountain pen. In very good condition, with moderate creasing and rippling, some light crazing to finish, and mounting remnants to reverse. An unusual image, not only with Roosevelt being caught smoking, but one of the only known photos of an active weapon in direct vicinity of a president. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
