Satirical hand-painted program and menu for the 1934 Founders Day celebrations at Warm Springs, 6 x 9.5, portraying a mock dedication of the "Brace-Lines" steamship "Paral," signed on the front cover in pencil by Franklin D. Roosevelt and Eleanor Roosevelt. The program names "Captain Franklin Delano Roosevelt" as commander, and commemorates the maiden voyage of the steamship, likely referencing the formal establishment of the Warm Springs Foundation. It lists darkly humorous nicknames for the staff, and provides a menu with dishes like "quadriceps on toast," "scoliosis potatoes," "tibial tidbits," and "hamstring beans." In very good to fine condition, with a light block of toning, a few small stains, and heavy mounting remnants to the outside back cover. A unique memento from FDR's famous therapeutic facility.Format: Program
