2 Time Covers Signed by 3 Nobel Peace Prize Winners – Begin, Sadat, Kissinger.
Lot 19. 2 Time Covers Signed by 3 Nobel Peace Prize Winners – Begin, Sadat, Kissinger. Anwar Sadat (d. 1981) and Menachem Begin (d. 1992) share the Time cover for Sept. 25, 1978, the year they also shared the Nobel Prize for the Arab-Israeli peace memorialized in the Camp David Peace Agreement. Signed by both leaders, this cover may very well be unique. Both signed on their white shirt collars, and their signatures stand out boldly as gem mint 10s. Begin signed “M. Begin.” Sadat’s signature is accompanied by an official transmittal letter from the Embassy of Egypt attesting to Sadat’s signature. Henry Kissinger received the 1973 Nobel Peace Prize for his work in the Paris Peace Accords, which established a cease-fire and U.S. withdrawal from Vietnam. His signature is a bold 7-8 on the Aug. 25, 1975 Time cover, which features an illustration of him working to get Sadat and Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin together for peace talks. Magazine covers only, all with minor edge tears and creases and folded for mailing. Authenticated by Kevin Keating.
Winning Bid $240.
