Exceptional vintage matte-finish 9.25 x 13 Harris & Ewing portrait of President Truman, signed and inscribed in the lower border in fountain pen, "Best regards to Wm. Marshall Borchard, Harry S. Truman.” Includes the original seldom-seen Harris & Ewing portrait folder. In fine condition, with some small damage to the presentation folder; the photo itself is clean and virtually pristine. Accompanied by a letter of transmittal from Presidential Secretary Matthew J. Connelly, dated December 14, 1945, in part: "I have received your letter of December 9th, and am happy to enclose a photograph of the President, which he has inscribed to your nephew, William Marshall Borchard. I do hope William will be pleased." Supported by rock solid provenance, this is a wonderful depiction of Truman signed eight months into his presidency.
