Item Description
5x7.5" glossy photo showing York, PA. reporter Harry McLaughlin interviewing Nixon. Signed in partially faded blue ink "To Harry Mclaughlin With Best Wishes From Dick Nixon." Inscription/signature are largely still legible. Photo was from Nixon's first day in Washington after being elected Vice President. Reverse has four pieces of masking tape at edges. McLaughlin wrote to Nixon on reverse "Autograph And Return To Harry J. McLaughlin - York Dispatch - York, Pa" plus notes about how the photo came to be. Photo comes with McLaughlin's 1969 "Recollections" newspaper article clipping about the Nixon Family which includes two paragraphs about meeting Nixon in 1952 that read: "When Nixon Was Elected Vice President In 1952, After A Hectic Campaign Involving His Personal Financial Situation, His Mother Took The Late York Photographer Bob Motter, And Me, On A Personal Tour Of The Nixon Home In Washington, To Refute Certain (Columnist Drew) Pearson Remarks. We Were In The Company Of Mrs. Florence Sterner, Who Then Was Her Menges Mills Constant Companion And 'Dear Friend.' Photographer Motter And I Were The Only Newsmen Permitted Into The Nixon Home Upon The Vice President-Elect's Return To Washington From California After The 1952 Election, And We Were Present Only Because Of 'Mother Nixon's' Invitation. The Exclusive Photo Shown In This Column Was Taken By Motter Only Minutes After Mr. And Mrs. Nixon Arrived Home That Historic November, 1952, Day To Rejoin His Mother And Daughters." Harry McLaughlin Collection. Comes with Hake's COA.
