Exceptional vintage matte-finish 13.25 x 10.25 photo of Truman seated in the Oval Office with four of his staff members—Clark Clifford, William D. Hassett, Matthew J. Connelly, and Charles G. Ross—by White House press photographer Marion Carpenter, displayed in its original mat to an overall size of 16 x 16, signed and inscribed on the mount in fountain pen “To Clark M. Clifford from his old ‘boss.’ What a grand staff and how they are missed by the boss. Harry S. Truman.” Also signed on the mount in pencil by the photographer, “Marion Carpenter.” In very good condition, with some light rippling and scattered surface marks to the photo, overall toning to the borders of the mat, a small area of damp staining to the lower left corner of the mat, and the front of the mat separated from the backing, which can easily be reaffixed or framed for display. Clifford served in the Truman, Kennedy, Johnson, and Carter administrations in a variety of positions, including White House counsel for Truman and secretary of defense under Johnson. Carpenter was a pioneer press photographer, becoming the first woman national press photographer to cover Washington, D.C. and the White House. An incredible piece of American history.
