ROOSEVELT signed 11 x 14 detailed engraving' Description FRANKLIN D.ROOSEVELT - 32nd U.S. PresidentMarch 4, 1933 - April 12, 1945 VERY RARE, SELDOM SEEN and HIGHLY DESIRABLE 11" x 14" detailed engraving AUTHENTICALLY signed by 32nd U.S. President: FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT. The signature is BOLDLY executed by fountain pen in jet-black India ink, as shown. Close inspection and scrutiny of this signature will reveal individual strokes and shading within the letters thus attesting to the authenticity of his ACTUAL signature and not a facsimile or rubber-stamp. The overall condition of this engraving is EXCELLENT+ with moderate toning overall and a slight 1" tear near the bottom center of the item. This tear DOES NOT show with the matting, and is concealed. Additionally, there is a slight minor crease running diagonally across lower one-fourth of item which DOES NOT significantly detract from the signature or overall appeal. This engraving is matted with a red-core, acid-free black suede matboard to an overall size of 13" x 15" creating a very stunning presentation and display. PLEASE NOTE: This engraving is VERY UNCOMMON as this item was only given to large benefactors of polio research in connection with the National Foundation of Infantile Paralysis, as stated in the acclaimed book, "From the President's Pen, An Illustrated Guide to Presidential Autographs" co-authored by Larry F. Vrzalik and Michael Minor in 1991. An interesting but little-known fact about FDR is that he was one of only two Presidents who were autograph collectors, the other being JOHN F. KENNEDY. This item is GUARANTEED WITHOUT TIME LIMIT as to AUTHENTICITY and REPRESENTATION. A FANTASTIC addition to any FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT, Presidential or historical memorabilia collection TERMS, CONDITIONS and METHODS of PAYMENT Preferred methods of payment: PayPal or credit card.
