Enormous vintage matte-finish 17 x 22.5 head-and-shoulders portrait of Truman, signed and inscribed in fountain pen, “To Colonel Elliott Niles, with kindest regards, Harry S. Truman.” Matted and framed to an overall size of 22 x 28. In fine condition, with a few generally unobtrusive creases (one noticeable to the lower right of the image). Colonel Niles (1901–1956) was the national chairman of B’nai B’rith’s Service Committee to the Armed Forces and Veterans, and his brother served as a White House administrative assistant and advisor on minority groups during the Roosevelt and Truman administrations. The image is exceptionally sharp—especially for one of this size—and its interesting military association makes it an especially impressive piece.
