Heavyweight gilt-edged presidential card with embossed eagle, 4 x 2.25, signed in blue ink, “Richard Nixon.” The reverse of the card bears a printed two-language presentation, “Commemorating the visit by the President of the United States to the People’s Republic of China, February, 1972,” with the gilt-stamped name “Fritz Roland,” the official videographer during the historic diplomatic visit. The card is encased in a block of Lucite measuring 4.5 x 2.75 x 1. Accompanied by a letter of provenance from the previous owner, former congressman James E. Rogan, who explains that the item was produced at Nixon’s direction for presentation to the members of the official party who accompanied him to China, and notes that this particular example was on loan to the Smithsonian Institution from 2002–2006 as part of their traveling exhibition on the American presidency. Light scratches and surface wear to Lucite, otherwise fine condition. LOA John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and R&R COA.
