Title:
Lyndon B. Johnson Signed Cut Display with Swearing-In Photo – PSA/DNA Certified Authentic Auto
Description:
Presented here is a bold and visually striking cut signature of Lyndon B. Johnson, 36th President of the United States, authenticated and encapsulated by PSA/DNA. The autograph appears in crisp black ink on a clean off-white slip, with LBJ’s characteristic long and flowing penmanship fully intact.
The signature is attractively matted in a vertical display that includes two notable additions:
-
A small embossed presidential seal above Johnson's initials, adding a touch of formal gravitas.
-
A powerful and iconic black-and-white photograph of Johnson taking the oath of office aboard Air Force One on November 22, 1963, just hours after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Jackie Kennedy, still in her bloodstained suit, stands beside him in silent witness—an indelible image of one of the most dramatic transitions of presidential power in U.S. history.
Historical Context:
Lyndon B. Johnson (1908–1973) assumed the presidency under extraordinary and tragic circumstances following JFK’s assassination. Sworn in as president on Air Force One, LBJ would go on to shape the nation profoundly through landmark domestic policies known collectively as the Great Society, including the Civil Rights Act, Medicare, and the Voting Rights Act. However, his presidency was also deeply shaped—and ultimately shadowed—by the escalating conflict in Vietnam.
This signed cut, paired with the photo of his swearing-in, encapsulates a pivotal moment in 20th-century American history—a day that changed the nation forever.
Authentication & Encapsulation:
The autograph has been certified as authentic by PSA/DNA and is permanently housed in their tamper-evident slab. The PSA label reads:
