Beautiful matte-finish 9.25 x 13 portrait photo of Roosevelt by the Harris & Ewing photography studio, signed and inscribed in the lower border in fountain pen, “For Barnet Nover, from his friend, Franklin D. Roosevelt.” In very fine condition. Barnet Nover (1899–1973) was a New York journalist who covered public affairs and foreign policy for the Buffalo Evening News, Washington Post, and Denver Post over a 50-year career. According to former White Press Secretary Marlin Fitzwater, in 1988 Nover’s wife donated a refrigerator in her husband’s memory to the White House Briefing Room, which was subsequently used to store turkey sandwiches and soft drinks.
