Scarce limited edition color 18.5 x 13.5 lithograph broadside, numbered 7/175, bearing President Gerald Ford’s August 9, 1974, Oath of Office and remarks to the American public, as well as a color image of President Ford, boldly signed in blue felt tip, “Gerald R. Ford.” Gorgeously double-matted and framed to an overall size of 27 x 22. In excellent condition. At 12:03 pm on August 9, 1974, just a half hour after President Nixon’s resignation was made official, Gerald R. Ford took the oath of office in the East Room of the White House, becoming the first president to ever assume the position without being elected. Interestingly, Ford is the only president to have authorized a broadside like this for such a momentous occasion.
