Two different color glossy 8 x 10 photos of Diana and Mother Teresa holding hands, each signed in-person, one in blue felt tip, “Diana,” adding a small cross, and the other in blue felt tip, “God bless you, M. Teresa MC.” In fine condition, with trivial brushing towards the end of Diana’s signature and a few creases to upper right of Mother Teresa’s photo. Accompanied by seven color photos of Diana and Mother Teresa taken by the collector’s father, who was a press photographer at the time.
Taken on June 18, 1997, at the Missionaries of Charity in the Bronx, NY, these photos represent the only signed images of the two women together. The collector obtained the signatures at the Carlyle Hotel in Manhattan, and was so inspired by the event that he changed the course of his life’s work: “I know this was a magical moment, meeting two people who dedicated their lives to helping others…This moment led me to my current work as a social worker helping people with mental illness. Diana and Mother Teresa showed all the good we can become if we help others.” Within weeks of this meeting, both women were dead—Diana on August 31, 1997, and Mother Teresa less than a week later on September 5, 1997, making these the last signed images of the two patrons together. This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to acquire a unique pairing of signed images with impeccable provenance.
