I'm not sure of a grade as it , to me, seems to have been cleaned then retoned. The high details are a different color than the fields!

VF. The surfaces look a little grainy, however it looks original to my eye.

IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

VF-30, but I am leaning towards a Details grade from those pictures.

VF20 details, moderate porosity. Better pictures might get VF25, but as is, it looks like her hair is straight-up gone except for the cords and bun.
This is a Large 8, Small Stars variety, Newcomb N-2, easily attributable by the trademark double profile, most notable at the lips and the forehead.
