Color satin-finish 10 x 8 photo of Ford taking the Oath of Office from Chief Justice Burger, signed in black felt tip, “Gerald R. Ford” and “Warren E. Burger.” In fine condition, with overall surface bends and creases. On August 9, 1974, Gerald Ford was sworn in as the 38th President in the East Room of the White House, beginning his two-and-a-half-year first term. Having taken over the vice presidency on December 6, 1973, after the resignation of Spiro Agnew, Ford became the only person to hold the two highest offices in the American executive branch without being elected by the Electoral College. A handsome photo from his inauguration, which was the last time an American president was named in a non-scheduled inauguration to this day. RR Auction COA.
