ROOSEVELT, FRANKLIN DELANO.

Inauguration Speech of President Roosevelt 1933.

London Sangorski & Sutcliffe 1933 34pp. Complete manuscript text of Roosevelt's inauguration speech, written in the hand of Hugo Reichman in nearly microscopic script. Delivered on March 4, 1933, at the height of the Depression, Roosevelt acknowledged "the dark realities of the moment", but laid the groundwork in this speech for policies that would shape the New Deal. This manuscript has been bound in red morocco by Sangorski and Sutcliffe with the presidential seal and elaborate foliate decoration stamped in gilt. Gilt decoration on turn-ins; blue silk endpapers. Housed in a blue morocco clamshell box with gilt borders and the title gilt-stamped on the spine. A.e.g. Fore-edge clasp lacking its pin, else extremely fine. From the Henderson collection, so indicated by a gilt stamp on the lower spine of the clamshell box. An incredible feat of craftmanship with excellent provenance. (1 1/16 by 1; 28x26mm).
