Description:

The cut has been graded and authenticated by PSA/DNA, receiving an autograph grade of 6. The signature, written in fountain pen ink, remains clean and highly legible, showcasing Roosevelt’s distinct handwriting. The display is attractively framed within a larger beige mount, with mild toning and edge wear consistent with age.

The autograph is authenticated by PSA with certification number AR06846.
Historical Context:
Theodore Roosevelt (1858–1919) was one of the most dynamic and influential figures in American history. Serving as president from 1901 to 1909, Roosevelt championed progressive reform, conservation, and American expansion on the world stage. A Rough Rider, trust-buster, and the first American to win the Nobel Peace Prize, Roosevelt's legacy continues to shape the nation's political and environmental landscape. This signature likely dates from his post-presidency years (1909–1919), a period during which Roosevelt remained a dominant political force—founding the Progressive "Bull Moose" Party in 1912 and continuing to write and lecture prolifically.
