REAGAN, Ronald; NIXON, Richard; FORD, Gerald R.; and CARTER, Jimmy. Photograph signed. Washington, [1981]. Color photograph, measuring 8 by 10 inches, signed beneath the image. $8500.

Original color photograph of Presidents Carter, Ford, Nixon, and Reagan at the White House prior to leaving for Anwar Sadat's funeral, signed by all four presidents.

This signed photograph of the 37th through 40th Presidents of the United States was taken at the White House, where Presidents Carter, Ford, Nixon, and Reagan gathered in preparation for attending Anwar Sadat's funeral in Egypt. Ultimately, the circumstances of Sadat's assassination were thought to present too great a security risk to Reagan, the sitting president, so Presidents Carter, Ford, and Nixon traveled along with a delegation of American officials and briefly paid their respects to Sadat in his place. With letter from the original recipient explaining how each signature was acquired in person; calligraphic presentation at top left of photograph.

Fine condition.
