[Rarebooks] FS: Theodore Roosevelt The Citizen by Jacob Riis, SIGNED by both Riis and Roosevelt--The White House

[Charles Agvent]

(ROOSEVELT, Theodore) RIIS, Jacob. THEODORE ROOSEVELT THE CITIZEN.
New  York: The Outlook Company 1904. First Edition. Second Printing in
publisher's  original  decorated cloth. Illustrated with plates.  This
copy  virtually  unique  as  it is INSCRIBED and SIGNED  by  both  the
author  and  the subject, as President. Riis's inscription is  dated 5
August  1908.  Roosevelt  writes: "with the  best  wishes  of/Theodore
Roosevelt/The  White House/Jan. 18th 1909." The addition of "The White
House" by Roosevelt is notable as prior to Roosevelt's administration,
the    residence   was  known  as   the  "President's   Palace,"   the
"President's  House,"  and  the  "Executive  Mansion."  It  was  Teddy
Roosevelt  who  officially named it "The White House" in 1901. Of  the
many  books signed by Roosevelt we have both handled and seen, we have
never  before  encountered  one  in which he has  noted  it  with  his
signature.  Hinges  cracked  and  neatly  repaired.  Still  Near  Fine
                                                             $12,500.00
