Reagan, Ronald - Presidential Doodles
<Our item number 111628><B>Reagan, Ronald.</B> Four doodles made by President Reagan, three in pencil on a piece of folded typing paper and one in ink on a 6&#34; x 4&#34; engraved &#34;Ronald Reagan&#34; note card. On the typing paper, one figure seems to be the President himself; one is an Asian man&#39;s face, and the third is a left profile of a balding, mustachioed man sporting a monocle &#40;Jeeves, perhaps?&#41;. The ink sketch is the latter figure but with a bow tie and a jacket lapel visible; the card has one crease from folding.<BR><BR>President Reagan found drawing doodles relaxing and would do so infrequently, sometimes while sitting at his desk in the Oval Office sorting out issues and decisions, or, more often, during a lengthy Cabinet meeting which might have grown taxing. He would usually use whatever note paper or card was handy. Generally the doodles were caricatures or self portraits -- usually a single face, or sometimes a few on one page. Cabinet members would linger in the Cabinet Room a fter a meeting with the President, hoping he would leave a doodle or two behind on the table so they could grab it for their own memorabilia collection. <BR>Estimated Value &#36;1,000-1,500. <I><BR>From a former member of President Reagan&#39;s staff.</I> <BR><BR>Our item number 111628<BR><IMAGES><P ALIGN="CENTER"><IMG SRC="http://64.60.141.195/photos/40jpegs/111628.jpg"> </P></IMAGES>
