In what may or not become a regular feature, I’m posting a few pics I discovered on the Library of Congress photo website. They are all from August 1923, the month Coolidge ascended to the Presidency. In all pictures, he is wearing the black armband as a sign of mourning for his deceased predecessor Warren G. Harding. (Pictures below the cut)
