HOLMES, Oliver Wendell, Jr. SIGNED PHOTOGRAPH. Washington, D.C., 10 
March 1922. An 8" x 11" photograph of a painted portrait in his judicial 
robe laid down on a 11" x 16" mat in a slightly larger frame with the 
glass no longer present. SIGNED "Oliver Wendell Holmes" by the Justice 
at the lower left of the mat and dated April 25, 1922. Additionally 
signed by the photographer at the lower right. Holmes was appointed to 
the U.S. Supreme Court in 1902 by President Theodore Roosevelt, a 
position he held until his retirement in 1932. Holmes became famous for 
his liberal interpretations of the U.S. Constitution and was known as 
the "Great Dissenter" because of his disagreement with the views of his 
colleagues on the Court. His lectures on common law at the Lowell 
Institute in Boston, collected as THE COMMON LAW (1881), are considered 
a classic of legal writing. Fine. (#018370) $1,500.00
