Photograph of President Taft's White House Limo
<B>Exceptional Photograph of President Howard Taft in the First White House Limousine</B></I>. 9.5” x 7.75”, mounted on a backing board to an overall size of 14” x 11”, image in fine condition, mounting boards worn at the corners as usual. A notation of the back of this photograph indicates it was taken on October 10, 1912 at Lisbon, New Hampshire. The image depicts Taft and his First Lady in a Pierce-Arrow chauffeur-driven limousine. Taft is standing as if about to address the gathered crowd as a reporter, notepad in hand, stands ready to document the moment. Under magnification the Seal of the President of the United States is visible on the door of the limousine. History records that Theodore Roosevelt was the first president to ride in an automobile but Taft was the first president to have an official White House automobile. <BR><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Flat Material, Small (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
