Hughes Court Supreme Court -
Supreme Court Oversized Photo Signed by Charles E. Hughes & 7 Fellow Justices, ca. 1937-1938

An oversized Harris & Ewing black and white photographic print of the Hughes Court, ca. 1937-1938, signed by 8 of 9 U.S. Supreme Court justices: Charles Evans Hughes; Louis Brandeis; Harlan Stone; Hugo Black; Owen Roberts; George Sutherland; Pierce Butler; and James McReynolds. Though pictured, Benjamin Cardozo did not sign the photo since he had recently suffered a stroke.

This magnificent photo of the most powerful jurists in the land bears the embossed "© Harris & Ewing / Washington, D.C." studio mark at lower left. Three of the four signatures--those corresponding to Reynolds, Hughes, and Roberts--are a little light. Some minor silvering along the photo edges. Handsomely matted and framed behind glass in a mahogany finished frame. Not examined out of frame. A few isolated nicks to the frame. The sight size of the photo is 13.5" x 10.5" while the overall frame size is: 19.5" x 16.5" x .875".

The signatures appear as follows:

Front row, from left to right:

- Associate Justice George Sutherland as "Geo. Sutherland"

- Associate Justice James McReynolds as "J.C. McReynolds"

- Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes as "Charles E. Hughes"

- Associate Justice Louis Brandeis as "Louis W Brandeis"

- Associate Justice Pierce Butler as "Pierce Butler"

Back row, from left to right:

- [Benjamin Cardozo, pictured though missing signature]

- Associate Justice Harlan Stone as "Harlan F Stone."

- Associate Justice Owen Roberts as "Owen J. Roberts"

- Associate Justice Hugo Black as "Hugo L Black"

11th Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court Charles Evans Hughes (1862-1948) led the U.S. Supreme Court between 1930-1941. Hughes was a man of many talents. By the end of his career, he had also served as Governor of New York, Secretary of State during the Harding and Coolidge administrations, and U.S. Supreme Court Associate Justice (1910-1916).
