Description

1957 President Dwight Eisenhower Ceremonial First Pitch Wire Photograph, PSA/DNA Type III. Dwight D. Eisenhower, the 34th President of the United States, served two terms from 1953 to 1961, during a critical period in American history marked by post-World War II recovery, the onset of the Cold War, and significant domestic changes. Eisenhower's legacy is notably marked by his strong commitment to peace and stability internationally, highlighted by his efforts to reduce tensions during the Cold War, despite the various crises of the era, including the Korean War armistice and the formation of NATO. Domestically, he is remembered for his moderate and pragmatic approach, overseeing a period of economic prosperity, the expansion of Social Security, and the launch of the Interstate Highway System, which significantly transformed America's infrastructure. Additionally, while his policies on civil rights were sometimes seen as cautious during his time, he played a crucial role in the early stages of the Civil Rights Movement, including enforcing the desegregation of schools following the landmark Brown v. Board of Education decision.

Offered is a 7x9" wire photograph, via United Press Telephoto, of Eisenhower throwing out the first pitch of the 1957 MLB season in Washington. Creasing and toning exhibited. LOA from PSA/DNA, Type III.
