Original oversized Sarony cabinet photo of Lucy [Mrs. Rutherford B.] Hayes, 7 x 11.75 on its original 7.5 x 13 mount, signed and inscribed in ink as president at the lower edge of the image, “To Mrs. Evarts, with kindest regards, Rutherford B. Hayes,” adding the date 1877 under his wife’s image. Light stain to background of image at lower left (touching first few words of inscription; small stain to middle initial of signature), a hint of mild soiling with a few small surface marks (touching face), and somewhat irregular ink adhesion (a few dropped strokes), otherwise fine condition. Lawyer William M. Evarts (1818–1901) served as chief counsel for Andrew Johnson during his impeachment trial and as counsel for Hayes, on behalf of the Republican Party, during the legal entanglements surrounding the disputed 1876 election. Evidently grateful for Evarts’s efforts, Hayes appointed him secretary of state. An unusual and desirable oversized portrait with excellent association.
