Exceptional vintage matte-finish 9.25 x 12.5 bust-length portrait of Roosevelt by the Pach Brothers Studio of New York, signed boldly on the studio mat in fountain pen, "with best wishes from, Theodore Roosevelt, Feb 1st 1916." Blindstamped in the lower right corner by the photography studio. Archivally cloth-matted and framed to an overall size of 18.5 x 24. In fine condition, with silvering to the edges, and two thin diagonal areas of silvering to the upper background. In 1916, Roosevelt was again considering another run for the presidency, and in June was nominated as the Progressive Party candidate; he later turned down the offer via telegraph, instead tending his support for Republican hopeful Charles E. Hughes. A magnificent and uninscribed portrait of the longtime leader of the Republican party.
