Uncommon matte-finish 7 x 9.5 photo of the Trumans waving from the steps of their private plane, the 'Sacred Cow,' signed neatly in fountain pen, "Harry S. Truman," and "Bess W. Truman," with the calligraphic notation "Christmas 1946" along the bottom. In fine condition, with minor surface loss to the upper right corner tip. Consignor notes that this originates from the estate of Donald T. Birdzell, one of three White House police officers shot by Puerto Rican nationalists at Blair House in 1950 during an attempt on the life of President Harry S. Truman. Birdzell worked as a guard at the White House from 1939 to 1959.
