Blind embossed in the lower left corner by noted Washington, D.C. photographers Harris & Ewing, whose studio documented many leading political figures of the era. Condition: Very good to fine. Minor waviness along the right white margin and a bent lower left corner, both outside the image area and not affecting the inscription. Dimensions: 13.25 x 9.25 inches.
