FIVE U.S. PRESIDENTS – GEORGE H.W. BUSH, RONALD REAGAN, JIMMY CARTER, GERALD FORD AND RICHARD NIXON – POSE FOR A PORTRAIT AT THE DEDICATION OF THE REAGAN LIBRARY IN SIMI VALLEY IN 1991.

Rare Five Presidents Signed Photograph in Presentation Frame. 7.5″ x 9.5″ (sight). Color photograph taken at the dedication of the Ronald Reagan Library on November 4, 1991. This is the first such photograph we have seen in its original silver plated frame bearing the presidential seal at top, and an engraved signature, “George Bush / 41” at bottom. Each president has signed beneath his image: George H.W. Bush, Ronald Reagan, Jimmy Carter, Gerald Ford, and Richard Nixon. Each President retained at least one signed photograph for his own personal use and we believe this particular item was retained by President Bush, given the individualized presidential frame and box that accompanies this pristine and perfectly signed photo.

Condition: Excellent condition. The frame is in the original box issued in, also bearing a gold presidential seal. Box is pristine.

Fine portrait of five 20th century American Presidents, taken on the occasion of the opening ceremony of the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, November 4, 1991 in Simi Valley. It was the first time in history that five Presidents gathered on the same platform.

FAQ

How can I tell if my autograph is authentic?

Authenticating an autograph is a complex process that entails numerous factors such as the paper, ink, and penmanship. Comparing these elements to known examples is crucial in determining authenticity. If you lack experience in this area, it is highly recommended that you seek the assistance of professionals who can handle the task with expertise.

How are autographs priced?

The value of an autograph is influenced by various factors, including rarity, condition, content, and association. Accordingly, assigning a general value to letters can be challenging. This uniqueness is what adds thrill to autograph collecting and makes pricing a demanding task.

Are autographs a good investment?

The autograph market is subject to fluctuations like any other market and is sensitive to factors such as supply, demand, and the overall state of the economy. The autograph market differs from other markets as the availability, or supply, of autographs stops after an individual’s death. With the growth of the internet increasing the number of collectors and erasing geographical boundaries, there has been an upsurge in demand for autographs worldwide. Due to ongoing demand and limited supply, autograph prices have inevitably risen over the years, as witnessed by the Brams Collection. It is not advisable to invest in autographs for financial gain, as the autograph market is not especially “liquid” and does not pay dividends. Nevertheless, we believe that autographs are a stable financial investment that should increase in value over time. However, the rate of increase cannot be predicted or guaranteed with precision.
