Description

The iconic ‘Dewey Defeats Truman’ photo: “Trib. elect Dewey for one day! It didn’t stick”

Historic vintage matte-finish 9.5 x 7.75 photo of Truman holding up the Chicago Tribune’s famously inaccurate November 3, 1948, newspaper calling the election for Dewey with the enormous headline ‘Dewey Defeats Truman,’ signed in fountain pen along the bottom of the newspaper, “Trib. elect Dewey for one day! It didn’t stick. Harry Truman, 5/16/60.” In fine condition. One of the most recognizable images of the 20th century and a defining moment from Truman’s presidency. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
