9.5'' x 9'' matte photo of the Taft Supreme Court, circa 1921, signed by all nine justices. William Howard Taft was the only President to become a U.S. Chief Justice. Appointed in July 1921, he is shown here seated in the middle of the front row. He signs, ''Wm H. Taft''. The remaining eight justices are (front row) William R. Day, Joseph McKenna, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr., Willis Van Devanter, (back row) Louis D. Brandeis, Mahlon Pitney, James C. McReynolds and John H. Clarke. Taft served as Chief Justice until his death in 1930. The sepia photo by Clinedinst Studio is matted and framed to an overall size of 18'' x 17''. Creasing in signature area, else very good. Chipping to frame; paper backing has been removed. Overall very good.
