Item #28720 Signed Calling Card. Ethan Allen HITCHCOCK.

Signed Calling Card.

This glass and steel executive was appointed minister to Russia by McKinley in 1897, then secretary of the interior in 1898, ably filling that post under Theodore Roosevelt as well until 1909 -- not to be confused with the Union general (1798-1870) of the same name. Signed calling card, heavy stock 3½" X 1 3/4", n.p. [Washington, DC], n.y. [1904 lightly pencilled in another hand]. Very good. Lightly age toned; minor mounting traces on verso. "Autograph of" and "Secretary of the Interior" handsomely printed in italics at upper left and lower right (respectively) of this card, with Hitchcock's bold signature in brown ink in the space between. Very nice example. Item #28720
