A signed photograph of President Herbert Hoover with his favorite dog, King Tut , [Washington, D.C.], n.d. [ca. 1922-1929]. Signed in blue ink at the lower left corner, "Herbert Hoover."

Mounting residue on verso. Boldly signed. Very fine.

King Tut was a Belgian Malinois and Herbert Hoover's favorite of his family pets. The Hoovers acquired Tut from a friend around 1922, when he was probably one or two years old. Tut moved with them to the White House but was later sent back to their former S Street house after he grew less comfortable with life at the White House. King Tut was taken care of by the Hoovers' good friend, U.S. Senator Frederic Collin Walcott, who was renting the house on S Street. Tut died on October 14, 1929.

This item comes with a Certificate from John Reznikoff, a premier authenticator for both major 3rd party authentication services, PSA and JSA (James Spence Authentications), as well as numerous auction houses.
