Coolidge's 1923 oath is a notable subject for a color halftone, and the Curtis Publishing copyright suggests it was made for a popular magazine rather than as a news photograph. It shows Calvin Coolidge taking the oath of office after Warren G. Harding died in August 1923 and Coolidge became president. He was sworn in at his family home in Plymouth Notch, Vermont, by his father, a notary public, a quiet setting that matched his reputation for plain-spoken restraint. Reproductions like this one carried that image of an orderly transfer of power to a wide national audience.
