William H. Taft Signed Supreme Court Photo
A vintage sepia-colored photographic print of former President and then Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court William H. Taft (1857-1930), signed by him as "Wm H. Taft" at lower right. Also inscribed in Taft's hand as "For Mr. + Mrs. James McAvoy / with best wishes / Wm H. Taft / Washington / Nov 7th 1928" along the bottom edge. Light overall toning and isolated foxing mentioned only for accuracy. A medium-sized wrinkle at right does not affect the image, nor do a few isolated closed tears and staple holes found at the edges. Else very good. 10" x 13".
Taft looks very distinguished in his black judicial robes. The ex-president served as 10th Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court between 1921-1930, during which time he oversaw primarily conservative court rulings. Taft is the only person to date who has served as U.S. President and Supreme Court justice.
This item comes with a Certificate from John Reznikoff, a premier authenticator for both major 3rd party authentication services, PSA and JSA (James Spence Authentications), as well as numerous auction houses.
