Original Wire Photo Belonging to Bobby Jones Showing Him Being Presented His Painting By Eisenhower

        In March 1953, then-President Dwight Eisenhower famously presented Bobby Jones with a he personally painted of Jones. This was an emotional and significant moment for Bobby Jones, who admired the President dearly. The significance of this event in Jones' life is further demonstrated here. This exact framed photo was owned by Bobby Jones, and was recently procured by Green Jacket Auctions from a Jones family member. The original wire photo depicts Jones reading Eisenhower's inscription of the back of the famous painting. A truly amazing photograph that was owned by Bobby Jones himself!
