Vintage matte-finish 9.75 x 7.75 photo of Rogers with another gentleman, humorously signed and inscribed in fountain pen, “To the Navy Press Club. What’s the Navy doing with a press? Haven’t they got the marines. Will Rogers.” A pencil inscription written at the top in another hand reads, “For Helene Philibert, Navy Press Room.” Affixed at the top to a larger modern mount. In fine condition, with trivial skipping to a few letters of the inscription and signature. Philibert assisted in handling the Navy’s press relations beginning in 1918, working there through the 1930s. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
