Description

Exceptionally desirable official White House engraving symbolizing Watergate’s upheaval of America’s highest office

Superb engraved vignette portrait of the exterior of the White House produced by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, 7.5 x 5.75, signed below the image in black felt tip, “Richard Nixon, 1-20-69–8-9-74” and “Gerald R. Ford, 8/9/74–1/20/77.” Nicely archivally hand-wrapped silk matted and framed with a photo and nameplate to an overall size of 16 x 28. In fine condition. To actually see in Richard Nixon’s hand, “8-9-74,” his last day of serving as our president is surprising and significant. A scarce combination highlighted by the most unusual inclusion of their dates in office, representing the transition of power amidst one of the greatest political scandals in American history.
