Item description
Original 1933 French postal cover addressed to President Franklin D. Roosevelt in Washington, D.C., with strong presidential and postal-history interest.
The envelope was mailed from Paris, France on June 21, 1933, only a few months after Roosevelt entered the White House. It bears two 15-centime French postage stamps with Paris cancellations and a French postal slogan marking. The handwritten address references the President of the United States / Washington.
Most importantly, the reverse carries the red provenance marking:
“FROM THE FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT COLLECTION – AUTHENTICATED BY H.R. HARMER INC., N.Y.”
This H.R. Harmer marking provides important provenance connecting the cover to material dispersed from the Franklin D. Roosevelt Collection.
