A lovely cloth-edged 6.75 x 8.5 frame with a green cloth mat subtly decorated in a floral pattern, with an oval opening encircled by gold ribbon, displaying a photograph of President James A. Garfield. A statement of provenance has been written on the back of the frame by Lillian Rogers Parks, who was a best selling author as well as housekeeper and seamstress at the White House for over 30 years, from President Hoover through President Eisenhower. In full: “This frame was in the Blue Room in White House before 1910.” In addition to the provenance written directly on the item, there is also a hand-dated 1985 White House card from Lillian Rogers Parks sharing additional historic details. A significant offering—straight from the White House. From the Raleigh DeGeer Amyx Collection.
