Vintage matte-finish 14 x 11 photo of Eisenhower and his cabinet, circa January–September 1953, signed in blue and black ink by, “H. C. Lodge” (UN Ambassador); “Douglas McKay” (Secretary of the Interior); “George Humphrey” (Secretary of the Treasury); “Richard Nixon” (Vice President); “Herbert Brownell” (Attorney General); “Sinclair Weeks” (Secretary of Commerce); “Oveta Culp Hobby” (Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare); “Sherman Adams” (Presidential Assistant); “Arthur Flemming” (Advisory Committee Chairman and future HEW Secretary); “Martin P. Durkin” (Secretary of Labor); “Arthur Summerfield” (Postmaster General); “John Foster Dulles” (Secretary of State); “Dwight D. Eisenhower”; “C. E. Wilson” (Secretary of Defense); “E. T. Benson” (Secretary of Agriculture); and “Harold Stassen” (presidential assistant and later presidential candidate). Photo is affixed to a 15 x 11.75 mount. In very good condition, with creasing to edges and corners, several signatures fairly light, but still mostly legible, and several vertical creases through image. Since Durkin served only from January to September of 1953, the photograph would have been taken in the earliest days of Eisenhower’s presidency. There are very few, if any, other photographs of Eisenhower and his entire cabinet, making this photograph very rare. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
