1904 Franklin D. Roosevelt FDR - Harvard Class Album 1904 - RARE ORIGINAL:
$399.00

One RARE, ORIGINAL and historical 1904 HARVARD CLASS ALBUM featuring Franklin D. Roosevelt and his graduating class. Notable photos include FDR\'s college portrait, a group photograph with his Harvard Crimson staff, and a group portrait of FDR and other Class Day Officers, andhis senior portrait. Great piece of American history withmanyhistorical photos of 1904 Harvard professors, sports teams, clubs, fraternities, and senior class lives and portraits.

The album is in fair condition with typical wear commensurate with age. The onlysignature in the book is mygrandfather\'s signature is on the front blank page. Overall the pages are relativelyclean with typical wear on edges, lightyellowing,and light fingerprints from normal use. The most obvious damage on the interior is the small(1/4\")circles on various pages that I can only assume were made by my grandfather, as if to mark various portraits. (see photo) The binding has pulled away from pages andhas worn away on the bottom portion. Some pages detached, but all present. The book is still in one piece but is loose and needs gentle handling.

This album belonged to mygrandfather, Walter N. Hill, a 1904 Harvard graduate who later became a relativelyfamous USMC Medal of Honor recipient with an impressive career that spanned 40years and two world wars. His friendship with FDR continued after Harvard. I have a copy of a letter on White House letterhead FDR wrote to my grandfather thanking him for a painting of the USS CONGRESS that now hangs in the Roosevelt\'s estate in Hyde Park, NY.
