PRESIDENT HAYES SIGNS A VERY LARGE PHOTOGRAPH OF HIS WIFE RUTHERFORD B. HAYES (1822-1893). Hayes was the Nineteenth President and a Union general during the Civil War. During his Presidency, he ended Reconstruction, began civil service reform, and restored financial confidence after the Panic of 1873. PS. 7 ½” x 13”. No date [circa 1877]. No place [likely Washington, DC]. A very large photograph of First Lady Lucy Hayes inscribed on the lower margin by the President, “To Miss Alberta Manning Houghton, with kindest regards, Rutherford B. Hayes”. The photograph has an 1877 imprinted date and a Sarony imprint; based on the 1877 date, it was probably signed as President. Houghton was, like Lucy Hayes, likely involved in the women’s suffrage and temperance movements. Hayes signed with his full name (not his usual “R.B. Hayes”) and the purple ink is light but legible. The overall condition is fine.
