Title:
Richard Nixon Signed Cut Signature with Dated Inscription and White House Photo Display – PSA/DNA Certified Encapsulated Autograph (Cert #85702010)

Description:
This distinctive display features a signed cut autograph of President Richard Nixon, executed in bold black ink and inscribed “Richard Nixon – Christmas 1978.” The signature is clean and well-formed, with strong pen pressure and excellent legibility, typical of Nixon’s later-life handwriting.

The autograph is mounted beneath a photographic image depicting Nixon standing beside a snowman on the White House grounds, adding a unique seasonal and personal context to the piece. The inscription date of 1978 places the signing during Nixon’s post-presidential years.

The cut itself remains in fine condition, with minimal wear and strong contrast against the background. The entire piece is securely encapsulated within a PSA/DNA slab, ensuring both preservation and an attractive display format.

Historical Context:
Richard Nixon served as the 37th President of the United States from 1969 to 1974, a tenure marked by significant achievements in foreign policy, including the opening of diplomatic relations with China and détente with the Soviet Union. However, his presidency ended in resignation following the Watergate scandal, making him the only U.S. president to resign from office.

By 1978, when this piece was signed, Nixon was in the process of rebuilding his public image and legacy. During this period, he authored several books and re-engaged in foreign policy discussions, gradually reestablishing himself as an elder statesman. Signed items from this later period, particularly those with personal inscriptions such as “Christmas 1978,” offer collectors insight into his post-presidential life and efforts at personal and political rehabilitation.

Authentication & Encapsulation:
This autograph has been authenticated and encapsulated by PSA/DNA, a leading authority in autograph verification. The certification number 85702010 is clearly displayed on the slab label, confirming authenticity. The tamper-evident holder ensures long-term preservation while allowing full visibility of the front and reverse of the display.

• Additional Documentation & Provenance: At buyer’s request, Historical Autographs Gallery will include an additional “Historical Autographs Gallery Certificate” signed by our company founder Luke Pascal at no cost.

Closing Appeal:
Combining a boldly signed and dated autograph with a visually engaging White House winter scene, this Richard Nixon piece stands out as both historical and personal. Its PSA/DNA authentication, clear inscription, and unique presentation make it a compelling acquisition for collectors of presidential memorabilia and modern political history.
