Portrait of President Roosevelt on top with screaming eagle at bottom, ornate border, red specimen and purple archival overprints on face, POC's, Order # 74099 on top margin back blank, XF-AU condition, Rare Specimen of this memorial certificate which has not been offered since the June 1991 "Christies - ABN Archives sale". (Ex. Dennis Luck collection). The only memorial to the 26th president of the United States in the nationÕs capital is a small island in the Potomac River. An architectural memorial and the restored natural landscape surrounding it together form a living memorial to the man known as the ÒGreat Conservationist.Ó Theodore Roosevelt was the first president to make conservation of AmericaÕs natural resources a centerpiece of his domestic policy. For him, wise stewardship of land and wildlife made present and future growth possible. Almost 230 million acres of land came under the protection of the Federal Government during his term in office. Architect Eric Gugler and sculptor Paul Manship created the architectural memorial, with its open plaza and larger than life sized statue. Landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted, Jr., and his associate Henry Hubbard, created the plan that still guides maintenance of the memorial landscape.
