A commemorative souvenir print of Richard Nixon's inaugural address delivered on January 20, 1969. The print is autographed by legendary astronaut James Lovell in black felt tip. It features a Washington D.C. postal cancellation, an Inauguration Day stamp, and a six-cent commemorative postage stamp. James Lovell, a retired NASA astronaut, is one of the most prominent figures in the history of space exploration. He flew on four space missions, including Gemini 7, Gemini 12, Apollo 8 (the first mission to orbit the Moon), and Apollo 13, where he served as mission commander. Lovell's leadership and quick thinking during the Apollo 13 crisis earned him international acclaim, as the mission, originally intended to land on the Moon, became a successful effort to safely return the crew to Earth after a critical spacecraft failure. This rare and historically significant piece connects pivotal moments in American history-President Nixon's inauguration and the era of the Apollo space program. This lot includes a RR Auction Certificate of Authenticity, verifying the signature's authenticity.
