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.
