Description

Seldom-seen photograph and signature from important, sociopolitical Vietnamese figurehead

Offered here is a rare opportunity to acquire the signature of a man whose activity on behalf of his country for more than 25 years yielded his designation by Time magazine as one of the 100 most influential people of the 20th century. This vintage photograph was signed by Communist leader Ho Chi Minh (1890–1969). His sociopolitical guidance of the denizens of Vietnam, coupled with a prominent role in one of history’s most deplorable conflicts, cemented Minh’s position among history’s most important men. This 3.25 x 4.75 photograph exhibits a headshot of the highly visible figurehead, and “Ho Chi Minh” was added in blue ink near the bottom of the glossy image. A few small creases (one slightly affecting Minh’s forehead), and surface marks (visible mainly from an angle) are present, yet the well-handled memento demonstrates fine overall condition.
