Boardman Robinson

The Hon. Elihu Root
1918

A sketch of a stern-faced man with distinctive features, including a furrowed brow, a straight-lined mouth, and a prominent nose. The man has a short haircut and is wearing a suit with a tie. The paper appears aged with some discoloration and markings around the edges. Handwritten text and signatures are visible at the bottom.
