A large 11" × 14" vintage photograph of General of the Army Dwight D. Eisenhower, taken at Kilauea Military Camp in Hawaii on May 17, 1946.
The image can be matched directly to photograph 68-527-8 in the Dwight D. Eisenhower Presidential Library, where the scene is identified with that exact date and location. The original government image is credited to the U.S. Army Signal Corps.
Eisenhower is shown outdoors in uniform wearing the five-star insignia of a General of the Army. At the time, he was serving as Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army, several years before becoming President of the United States.
Subject: Dwight D. Eisenhower
Date photographed: May 17, 1946
Location: Kilauea Military Camp, Hawaii
Size: Approximately 11" × 14"
Original image source: U.S. Army Signal Corps
Archive reference: Eisenhower Presidential Library 68-527-8
Reverse notation: “President Eisenhower 11/11/56” handwritten on the back
The handwritten 1956 notation appears to be a later identification or dating notation rather than the date of the underlying image; the Presidential Library identifies the scene as May 17, 1946.
This particular physical print has not been submitted for third-party photographic authentication, so no PSA photographic type designation is being claimed and its exact printing date has not been established.
The unusually large 11" × 14" format, documented 1946 Hawaii setting, Signal Corps origin of the image, and Eisenhower’s prominent five-star uniform make this an excellent display piece for a presidential, WWII, or U.S. military collection.
Please review all photos for the item’s condition.
