Original 1947 Associated Press wire photo showing General Dwight D. Eisenhower, then Army Chief of Staff, visiting with a group of children outside the Eisenhower family home in Abilene, Kansas. The home had recently been dedicated as a national shrine honoring Eisenhower and the veterans of World War II. Original AP caption remains attached along the bottom. This mounted wire photo measures approximately 7¾ × 7⅝ inches overall and comes from the archive of a Pittsburgh area newspaper. A desirable postwar Eisenhower image from the year before his presidential campaign became a national possibility. Please see photos.
