In 1929 violinist Alfredo de Saint Malo made a concert tour of Italy, where he performed in the Vatican, before Pope Pius XI, and then before his successor, Pope Pius XII. He was then named by Time Magazine as one of the ten greatest violinists in the world. In 1939, he was invited to present a concert at the White House in Washington D.C. for the President of the United States, Franklin D. Roosevelt and his wife, Eleanor Roosevelt. That concert took place on June 10, 1939.
An 8 by 10 inch sepia photograph of both Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt, in the White House, inscribed by Mrs. Roosevelt “To Alfredo de St. Malo, with good wishes”, and signed by both Roosevelts. It was given to St. Malo at that concert. It is uncommon to find photographs signed by both Roosevelts, who made such an effective team in the White House. This is our first in years. We obtained it from the St. Malo family directly.
