Impressive crystal-clear 3.75 x 5 matte-finish portrait of Roosevelt in his dramatic full dress ‘Rough Rider’ uniform, stamped on reverse “Pres. File,” taken by B. J. Falk in 1898. Photo is housed in a quality, patriotically ornate metallic 5 x 8.25 period frame, with a raised eagle and painted enamel shield at the top, stars along the vertical sides, and flags along the bottom. In fine condition. This stunning piece, originally displayed at the White House, descended to the collection of Raleigh DeGeer Amyx through ‘First Maid’ Maggie Rogers and her daughter Lillian Rogers Parks.
