1919 Original Photo President William H. Taft Harris & Ewing Portrait 'Type 1'*

Description: William Howard Taft (1857–1930) served as the 27th President of the United States from 1909 to 1913. Before his presidency, Taft was a respected lawyer, judge, and the first civilian governor of the Philippines. As president, he continued the progressive policies of his predecessor, Theodore Roosevelt, but with a more conservative approach. Taft focused on trust-busting, expanding antitrust prosecutions, and promoting economic reforms, but his actions sometimes alienated progressive leaders, leading to a split in the Republican Party. After leaving the White House, Taft achieved his lifelong ambition of becoming Chief Justice of the United States, serving from 1921 to 1930, and remains the only person to have held both the presidency and the Supreme Court's top position.This Original News photograph displays a portrait shot of the great American President William H.
