Item Details
Description
Thor Heyerdahl PSA NM 7 Signed Bookplate

A partly printed adhesive bookplate signed and dated by Norwegian ethnographer/explorer Thor Heyerdahl (1914-2002) as "Thor Heyerdahl / 1997" at center. Encapsulated and PSA/DNA certified and graded NM 7. 1997, n.p. Appears to be unused and near pristine. The actual size of the bookplate is 4" x 3" while the overall size of the slab is 7.125" x 4.25."

Thor Heyerdahl undertook four long-distance voyages in vessels built from natural materials to prove that similar distances could have been spanned by pre-historical and ancient peoples. Of note were the Heyerdahl-led "Kon-Tiki" expedition between Peru and French Polynesia in 1947; the "Ra" and "Ra II" expeditions between Morocco and the Caribbean Sea in 1969-1970; and the "Tigris" expedition from Iraq to Pakistan and through the Red Sea in 1977. Heyerdahl's experimental voyages greatly contributed to 20th century understanding of human migration and cultural diffusion.

This item comes with a Certificate from John Reznikoff, a premier authenticator for both major 3rd party authentication services, PSA and JSA (James Spence Authentications), as well as numerous auction houses.
