Highly appealing admission ticket for the visit of Vice Premier Deng Xiaoping to the White House on January 29, 1979, measuring 3.5 x 2, ticket no. 3302, issued to “Sean Robbins.” Signed in black ink, “J. Carter” and “Rosalynn Carter.” Matted and framed with a fabric Chinese flag. In fine condition. Accompanied by a framed and unsigned color satin-finish photo of the Carters and Dengs during the ceremony, as well as the two original wooden menus for the dinner ceremony, printed in both English and Chinese. Prior to Deng Xiaoping’s trip to Washington, it had been over 45 years since the White House had welcomed such a high-ranking Chinese visitor. A truly historic moment in Sino-American relations, the objective of the visit was, as Deng stated upon his arrival, to explore “ways to develop our contacts and cooperation in the political, economic, scientific, technological, and cultural fields.” A wonderful piece from this crucial period of normalizing relations between the two world powers.
