Terrific 10.75 x 14 original ink portrait sketch of Lyndon B. Johnson by artist Nanton Romney, signed and inscribed in black ink, "To Charles Tyroler, 2nd, whose cool judgment, patriotism, and leadership helped stabilize the nation in a difficult time—Lyndon B. Johnson." Also signed below by the artist in black ink. In fine condition, with a light block of toning from prior display, and some staining to the bottom edge which could easily be matted out again. Tyroler was a longtime Democratic Party strategist who went on to serve as a member of the President's Intelligence Oversight Board during the Reagan and Bush administrations; he was active in the presidential campaigns of John F. Kennedy in 1960, and Lyndon B. Johnson in 1964. An impressive likeness of the 36th president with a lengthy and noteworthy inscription.
