October 27, 1947 AP wirephoto of General Dwight D. Eisenhower examining the Eisenhower family Bible in his boyhood home in Abilene, Kansas. Miss Marilynn Fritz, secretary and custodian of the Eisenhower Foundation, stands behind him as he turns the pages. The caption, printed beneath the image, describes the home as a national shrine honoring the general and war veterans. The photo measures 6⅜ x 8⅝ inches and comes from the archive of a Pittsburgh area newspaper. Aged tape remains on the upper and lower corners, with yellowing and residue; lower tape overlaps parts of the caption. The print has light surface scuffs and edge wear, and the caption shows toning. The scene includes the patterned chair, footstool and framed memorabilia behind Eisenhower. Please inspect photos for condition.
