Description

Striking portrait of Hoover as secretary of commerce

Distinguished vintage matte-finish 4.5 x 6.5 half-length portrait of Hoover by noted southwestern photographer T. Harmon Parkhurst in its original 7.25 x 9.5 mat, signed and inscribed on the mat in black ink, “To Mrs. Vollmer, With kind regards of Herbert Hoover.” In fine condition, with some mild silvering to dark areas of the image. Accompanied by the original period frame. Parkhurst most likely took this photo during Hoover’s trip to Santa Fe from November 9 to 24, 1922, during which he helped finalize the Colorado River Compact; helping to confirm this is a group photo from the meetings owned by the Hoover Presidential Library, also taken by Parkhurst. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
