Its service didn't stop there, though, as it continued to be used by the new President during his frequent travels. Fourteen news service photos, many of which were taken in various states along the trail, show one of our finest leaders alongside his wife and other members of his brain trust. Some with original paper captions or press clippings, others with press stampings. Overall EX+. Range in size from 6.5x8.5"-6x11".
