With the blind embossed credit stamp of a Budapest photography studio to the lower right corner of the image. Signed by Horthy in bold, dark fountain pen ink and inscribed to General Sherill. VG The present photograph may have been presented to General Charles H. Sherrill (1867-1936) American Politician and Diplomat who served as United States Ambassador to Turkey 1933-36. In 1935 Sherrill, as a member of the International Olympic Committee, met twice with Adolf Hitler during preparations for the 1936 Olympic Games and upon the two men disagreeing over the participation of Jews Sherrill threatened Hitler with an American boycott.
