HARDING, Warren G. Group photograph of four golf partners signed ("Warren G. Harding"), apparently as President, also signed by HARRY LAUDER (1870-1950, the Scottish actor/singer), EDWARD MACLEAN, journalist, owner of the Hope Diamond, and Harding's private secretary GEORGE B. CHRISTIAN, Jr., photo by Harris & Ewing (imprint in lower right), n.d. [1921-1923]. 8x 10 in., including mat, several cracks near margins, matted . Signed by each man in lower portion. A GOLFING PRESIDENT, with the popular singer and vaudeville star, Sir Harry Lauder, in his typical kilt. Harding, in plus fours, bow-tie and beret, stands next to Lauder. Lauder recalled that after a visit to the White House, "we motored out to the Congressional Golf Course and the President and I played two other fellows, one of whom was Mr. Eddie McLean the proprietor of the Washington Post. We licked them by three up and two to go. On the course Mr. Harding was like a schoolboy and he was, to use his own words, just "tickled to death" by the good form we displayed. Our caddies were overjoyed at the success of our side because I think they had a gamble on with the other pair. At the finish I asked my boy what he had won and he told me two dollars." A rare image, especially signed.
