Vintage matte-finish 13.75 x 10.75 official Truman cabinet photo from January 9, 1948, neatly signed in blue and black fountain pen on the lines provided underneath by all 12 members: “Harry S. Truman,” “John W. Snyder,” “Tom C. Clark,” “James Forrestal,” “G. C. Marshall,” “L. B. Schwellenbach,” “Clinton P. Anderson,” “J. M. Donaldson,” “W. A. Harriman,” and “J. A. Krug.” Also signed “John R. Steelman” (Assistant to the President), and “Philip B. Fleming” (Federal Works Administrator). Affixed to the lower left is a handwritten note from Truman to Treasury Secretary John Snyder on an embossed presidential card, which reads, “Here’s your picture all fixed up. To John Snyder HST, 2/18/48.” Reverse of photo is stamp-dated January 9, 1948, with a handwritten notation stating the photo is by Abbie Rowe. A small caption is also affixed to the bottom edge of the photo. In fine condition. A rare photo of President’s cabinet owned by a member of that Cabinet, the first we have ever seen offered for sale. The fact that the President himself had it signed by his Cabinet and then presented it to one of its members makes it all the more desirable.
