Uncommon oversized color satin-finish 10.25 x 13 photo of Presidents Nixon through Reagan gathered at the White House prior to departing for Anwar Sadat’s funeral in 1981, signed and inscribed in black ink “To Vernon A. Walters, with great appreciation & regard, Ronald Reagan,” “To Vernon Walters, with appreciation and admiration, Regards, Gerald R. Ford,” “To Dick Walters, loyal friend & wise counsellor from Richard Nixon 2-25-84,” and “Best wishes, Jimmy Carter.” Double matted and framed to an overall size of 15.5 x 18.5. Reagan’s, Ford’s, and Nixon’s signatures faded and light, but still legible, light contrast to portion of Reagan’s inscription, slight irregular ink adhesion to Ford’s signature, scattered creases and ripples to borders, and small circular spots of emulsion loss to borders and image, otherwise very good condition. Walters was a former Army officer and a diplomat, who served as Deputy Director of Central Intelligence, the US Ambassador to the United Nations and Ambassador to the Federal Republic of Germany during the decisive phase of German Reunification. An uncommon oversized example of this highly sought after photo.
