William Howard Taft


A photo for the Vintage Photos Theme Park for the theme of famous--a person or place.
As far as I can determine, the famous person that the fellow in this real photo postcard is pretending to greet is William Howard Taft, who won the U.S. presidential election as the Republican nomnee in 1908 and served as the twenty-seventh president of the United States from 1909 to 1913.
I found a similar postcard (see below) with another guy pretending to have his picture taken with a man who's sitting at a table and reading a newspaper. This man, as far as I can ascertain, is William Jennings Bryan, who ran unsuccessfully against Taft as the Democratic nominee for president in 1908.
I haven't located any other novelty photos featuring Taft or Bryan, but I wonder if these were produced in 1908 during the presidential election.
