Letter from Victor Geza Fischer to Theodore Roosevelt
Victor Geza Fischer wishes President Roosevelt a happy birthday and discusses the origins of the Christopher Columbus portrait that he is sending. He believes that it is authentic, because it is an etched copy of a portrait that was in Columbus’s son Ferdinand’s house in Genoa. The etching is made by Victor Louis Focillon, who won a gold medal in graphic arts at the Chicago World’s Fair.
