Among the more famous of all photographs taken during the 20th century is this image of Harry Truman holding the incorrect newspaper headline predicting his defeat in the 1948 Presidential Election. Condition is beautiful and this one dates to about 1959-1960 placing it just about 12 years after the original was shot. One of the only vintage images of this moment we have ever seen and it presents beautifully!
