Heavy cardstock menu for a dinner held at the White House on April 29, 1962, 4 x 6.5, signed on the reverse by 15 attendees, including John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy, John Glenn, Ralph J. Bunche, Chen Ning Yang, Anne Fitzgerald Cori, Rufus E. Clement, Jerome Wiesner, Arthur Cantor, and Joe Rauh, and in pencil by Robert Frost and Jerome Wiesner. Some staining and soiling to menu (affecting only the lower right corner of the signed side), otherwise fine condition.
‘I think this is the most extraordinary collection of talent, of human knowledge, that has ever been gathered together at the White House, with the possible exception of when Thomas Jefferson dined alone,’ joked President John F. Kennedy as he welcomed a distinguished group to a dinner honoring Nobel Prize winners of the Western Hemisphere on April 29, 1962. The guest list included 49 Nobel winners or nominees and dozens of other prominent men and women from the arts, education, and science, including astronaut John Glenn, Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Robert Frost, and Attorney General Robert Kennedy. A wonderful and varied collection of signatures from some of the most influential figures of the 1960s.
