Item Description
32x52" framed w/25x43" lantern. While Teddy Roosevelt had the Teddy Bear named after him, Taft's mascot was the Billy Possum. Frame has some light surface wear. Lantern has slight even age toning, otherwise only a few small tears that detract little, and moderate surface wear and handling. VF. Not examined outside of frame. An incredible survivor.
