réf. 149952Rare Apollo XI quarantine image signed by President Richard Nixon and Apollo XI astronauts Neil Armstrong Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins. The image shows Apollo XI crew members in quarantine being congratulated by President Nixon through a microphone. The oversized color photograph appears to be a blow-up of a contemporary magazine page complete with printed captions and is mounted on chipboard. Signed by Richard Nixon Neil Armstrong Buzz Aldrin and inscribed by Michael Collins "Best wishes to Felix - M Collins." The caption beneath the image reads: Once inside a special trailer where they began an eighteen-day period of quarantine to preclude contamination of the earth by potential moon germs the astronauts talked and joked by microphone with a jubilant President Nixon who was moved to acclaim their accomplishment as the greatest feat since the creation of the universe. Triple matted and framed. A very uncommon assemblage of signatures. Richard Nixon’s presidency became permanently entwined with Apollo 11 as the mission unfolded in July 1969 as both a scientific triumph and a powerful emblem of American leadership in the Cold War. Nixon followed the flight closely from the White House speaking repeatedly of the astronauts as representatives of the nation and after the lunar landing he placed a live telephone call to Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin on the Moon—an unprecedented gesture he later described as the most historic phone call ever made. When Apollo 11 returned safely to Earth Nixon greeted Armstrong Aldrin and Michael Collins aboard the USS Hornet praising their achievement as a victory for “peaceful purposes” and for all mankind while also underscoring the technological and ideological stakes of the space race. He awarded the astronauts the Presidential Medal of Freedom and sent them on a global goodwill tour that functioned as cultural diplomacy projecting U.S. ingenuity and stability at a moment of domestic strain. In Nixon’s rhetoric and staging Apollo 11 was both a culmination of the Kennedy-era lunar goal and a visible affirmation of American prestige—an event he sought to frame as a unifying national milestone and a benchmark of what the country could accomplish. unknown
1993réf. 151891January 9 1993. Rare original card celebrating President Richard Nixon's 80th birthday. A card depicting him with his four grandchildren at Woodcliff Lake in New Jersey: Melanie Eisenhower Christopher Cox Jennie Eisenhower and Alex Eisenhower. Boldly signed by Richard Nixon to the bottom right in black felt tip. In fine condition. The piece measures 7 inches by 5 inches. Richard Milhous Nixon 1913–1994 the thirty-seventh President of the United States remains one of the most complex and consequential figures in modern American political history — a man of formidable intellect and strategic vision whose presidency produced genuine achievements of the first order alongside one of the most catastrophic failures of political judgment the office has ever witnessed. Born in Yorba Linda California and educated at Whittier College and Duke University School of Law Nixon served as a Naval officer in the Pacific rose through the House and Senate on the strength of his aggressive anti-communist credentials and served two terms as Eisenhower's Vice President before losing narrowly to Kennedy in 1960 and engineering one of the most remarkable political comebacks in American history with his election to the presidency in 1968. His foreign policy record was substantial — the opening of China détente with the Soviet Union the withdrawal from Vietnam and the creation of the Environmental Protection Agency among his lasting contributions — but everything was ultimately consumed by Watergate the cover-up of a burglary at Democratic National Committee headquarters that led to his resignation on August 9 1974 the only presidential resignation in American history. Pardoned by Gerald Ford Nixon spent his final two decades writing prolifically on foreign policy and partially rehabilitating his public standing. He died in April 1994 at the age of eighty-one and his funeral was attended by all five living former presidents — a gesture of institutional respect for a man whose gifts and flaws were each in their different ways outsized. unknown

réf. 261218/3/88. We obtained this letter from the Kirkpatrick family and it has never before been offered for sale The Washington Summit of 1987 was meeting between President Ronald Reagan and Soviet General Secretary Mikhail Gorbachev that took place on December 8–10. Reagan and Gorbachev discussed regional conflicts in Afghanistan Central America and Southern Africa arms control issues for chemical weapons as well as conventional weapons the status of START limitation on strategy weapons negotiations and human rights. Some progress was made in these areas. The notable accomplishment of the Washington Summit was the signing of the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty which banned all of the two nations' land-based ballistic missiles cruise missiles and missile launchers. By 1991 almost 2700 missiles had been eliminated. Needless to say the collegial atmosphere of the talks and the feeling that Gorbachev was a man you could work with caused great excitement in the United States after half a century of Cold War. In 1988 former President Nixon wrote a book 1999: Victory Without War which offered his comprehensive strategy for the West—a vital plan of action that would help ensure peace prosperity and freedom in the next century. In it he provided commentary and suggestions in the area of his great expertise foreign policy. He began by arguing that the United States should continue to play a central international role. He contended that world peace is inseparable from world power and that real peace is not absence of conflict but living with unending conflict the natural state of world affairs. He sought to tamp down the popularity of Gorbachev whom he saw as seeking change that would permit the Soviet Union to find hegemony. Still he cogently argued for a realistic policy toward the Soviets involving a mix of deterrence competition and negotiation. His hard-line views are on display in other areas. On nuclear armaments he endorsed Reagan's plan for laser-based weapons in space ""Star Wars"" and urged ""no first-strike vulnerability."" He advocated continued support of Nicaragua's contras covert CIA actions overseas build-up of nuclear power more U.S. cruise missiles in Europe the establishment of U.S. air bases in Saudi Arabia. He blamed Africa's poverty on the terrible governments there. He strongly opposed the adoption of protectionist trade measures against Japan. Jeane Kirkpatrick was a lifelong Democrat working in both state and national campaigns including Hubert Humphrey's 1972 presidential campaign. She grew increasingly dissatisfied however with the Democratic Party's liberal faction and in 1972 cofounded the Coalition for a Democratic Majority. Her conservative writings regarding U.S. foreign policy impressed Ronald Reagan and during his 1980 presidential campaign she was selected as his foreign policy advisor. Under President Reagan she became the first woman to serve as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations serving from 1981 to 1985. She was also given cabinet rank and was also a member of Reagan’s national security team. She remained active in politics but as a Republican. Nixon sent Kirkpatrick an advance copy of his book. Typed letter signed on his letterhead New York March 8 1988 to Kirkpatrick in which he makes it clear that he does not share the excitement about Gorbachev and still distrusts the Soviets. “The enclosed proofs of 1999: Victory Without War represent my reflections after forty years of observing and participating in U.S. foreign policy. Some of our mutual friends will consider it to be too tough on the Soviets but I thought it was essential to provide an antidote for the wave of euphoria that seems to have engulfed the West since the Washington summit. I think you may find the last chapter in which I try to look into the future past the 1988 election of particular interest.” Nixon’s distrust of Gorbachev though hardly unexpected proved baseless. Under Gorbachev’s leadership the next year the Berlin Wall came down in 1990 six republics left the Soviet Union and in 1991 the Soviet Union dissolved altogether. <img class=""alignnone wp-image-25018 size-post-window"" src=""https://cdn.raabcollection.com/wp-content/uploads/20231204144051/Folder-site-11-1600x1327.jpg"" alt="""" width=""1600"" height=""1327"" /> unknown
