WILLIAM HOWARD TAFT
Black and white 16½x21 engraved portrait of William Howard Taft.
Engraved Portrait signed: "Sincerely yours/Wm H. Taft" in pencil, probably as 27th U.S. President. B/w, 16½x21 overall, image 11x14 (one surface). Portrait "Copyrighted 1909 by Wm K. Barmore, New York." William Howard Taft (1857-1930) was Governor of the Philippines (1901-1904), Secretary of War (1904-1909), 27th of the United States (1909-1913) and Chief Justice of the US Supreme Court (1921-1930). His bruising convention battle with former ally and patron Theodore Roosevelt in 1912 split the Republican Party, allowing the election of Democrat Woodrow Wilson. Taft as President was caught in the middle between progressives and conservatives and constrained by a more limited view of Presidential powers than TR had possessed, but historians tend to view his term of office more positively than did most of his contemporaries. His skills as Chief Justice are widely recognized. In the years between his Presidency and his appointment as chief justice, Taft taught at Yale Law School. 12¼x16½ rectangular toning from prior framing. Perfect for framing, fine condition.
