Description

Presidents and Inaugurals

1919 Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Plaque. By Allen G. Newman. Cast Bronze. Virtually As Made.

14 inches x 9 inches; 19 inches x 15 inches overall. A very large version of this plaque, usually seen in a smaller 10 inches x 6 inches format, and signed by the artist at the lower right of the portrait. This one is unsigned, but bears the mark of the foundry at the bottom right border, John Polachek Bronze and Iron Company, just as the smaller versions do. Lovely olive-bronze is uniformly patinated and shows virtually no handling. Screw mounted in a gilt wood frame. An impressive Roosevelt piece, and quite a bit more desirable than the usually seen bronzed iron plaques by Fraser.

Estimate: 1500
