In addition, under the photograph, are: an ink stamp from “Old State House Station” on inauguration day, January 20, 1993; an ink stamp of the Arkansas State flag with “Inauguration Day” under it; a 29 cent postage stamp.Poster is about 30 years old. It is in Excellent condition. No rips or tears. Size: 25” x 19". See photographs. (This is flat now but when it is time to ship, I will roll it so I can ship it in a tube for more protection. I suggest that when the buyer receives it, they get it out of the tube and begin to slowly flatten it again.)A very rare opportunity to own such a special piece of political and American history!BACK STORY: The Henderson County Democratic Party (North Carolina) found these posters in storage. Someone with the local party used to work for the Clintons. So, they contacted President Clinton to see if he would sign them and he did, including the message quoted above. They are being sold so the local party can help Democratic candidates (Harris/Walz, Josh Stein, Caleb Rudow, etc.) win their races in 2024.BACKGROUND: Born William Jefferson Blythe III before taking on his stepfather's surname, Clinton rose from humble beginnings in Hope, Arkansas to become a Rhodes Scholar, Attorney General of Arkansas, Governor, and then 42nd President of the United States. Clinton served two terms as President, defeating incumbent President George H.W. Bush of Texas in the 1992, and Senate Majority leader Bob Dole of Kansas in 1996. A Democrat who before his Presidency was known as "the Boy Governor" of Arkansas, Clinton oversaw one of the largest economic expansions in American history during his Presidency.BACKGROUND: Robert L. Coon Jr. received top awards in photography from The Industrial Photographers Association of Michigan, Associated Press, United Press International, University of Missouri – School of Journalism. He was also nominated for a Pulitzer Prize (photo series “A Leap for Life.”)GENERAL: Please ask any questions and know what you are buying before you bid.
