Jimmy Carter and Rosalynn Carter autographed 10 x 8” official White House color photograph depicting the President and First Lady standing on the Truman Balcony alongside Pope John Paul II during the Pontiff’s historic visit to the White House on October 6, 1979. Carter and Rosalynn have each signed prominently across the upper portion of the image in bold black felt-tip ink. The reverse bears the official White House photograph stamp and identification code, confirming its origin as an official White House release.

The meeting between President Jimmy Carter and Pope John Paul II marked the first official visit by a reigning Pope to the White House, a landmark moment in American diplomatic and religious history. During the October 1979 visit, the leaders discussed human rights, global peace, religious freedom, and international cooperation before greeting the public from the White House balcony. Images from the occasion have become enduring symbols of one of the most significant papal visits to the United States.

Fine condition.
