HERBERT HOOVER
Handsome black and white 9¾x12¾ publicity photograph of the 31st U.S. President sitting in a chair.
Photograph mount signed: "Herbert Hoover". B/w, 9¾x12¾ overall, image 6½x9 (two surfaces). Herbert Clark Hoover (1874-1964), a mining engineer and self-made millionaire, served as the 31st U.S. President from 1929-1933. Blamed by many voters for the Great Depression, he was defeated in his bid for re-election by Franklin D. Roosevelt. Hoover, a capable administrator, had headed the Food Administration to provide relief to Europe and Russia during and after WWI and served as Secretary of Commerce under Presidents Warren G. Harding and Calvin Coolidge (1921-1928). The second President to attain the age of 90 years (John Adams was the first), Hoover lived a record 31 years after leaving the presidency. During his "retirement", he was appointed to commissions to oversee government agencies by Presidents Harry S Truman (1947) and Dwight D. Eisenhower (1953). Hoover also wrote a number of books and articles. Mounting board stained touching "H" of Herbert and upper margin. Creased on board at edges of photograph. Otherwise, fine condition.
