Description: A fabulous Presidential signed photograph! The bewhiskered President Arthur stares out from this albumen photograph and has boldly penned beneath: ‘”Men may die, but the fabric of our fine institutions remains unshaken…” Chester A. Arthur, Executive Mansion, Washington, May 5, 1882″‘.
6″ x 4″ photo is on its original 12 1/4″ x 9″ mount (with an early mat that measures 15 1/2″ x 10″). The original transmission letter from Arthur’s private secretary tipped to verso. Item #A01603
Chester Alan Arthur (1829-1886) served as the 21st President of the United States from 1881-1885.
Condition: Mount has chipped corners and a 2″ crack at the lower edge (does not touch any writing). Otherwise very good.
