This collection of around 50 autographs brings together leading figures from 20th-century public, political and military life. It consists mainly of signed photographs, supplemented by various documents and materials that bear witness to a collection built up over several decades.

The lot sheds light on French political history through the signatures of heads of state, prime ministers and iconic ministerial figures, notably Jacques Chirac, Nicolas Sarkozy, Lionel Jospin, Michel Rocard, Dominique de Villepin and Bertrand Delanoë. The collection also stands out for the inclusion of figures with exceptional careers, such as Simone Veil and Bernard Tapie, as well as a military section featuring a signature by General Leclerc.

Various formats: 10 × 15 cm / 20.5 × 13 cm / 21 × 29.7 cm

Originating from a major private collection, this lot is the result of encounters at institutional events and public ceremonies. The autographs are presented as is. No individual authenticity assessment has been carried out and no guarantee is given as to the authenticity of each signature. The lot is offered as a documentary and collector’s collection.
