Betty Ford - popular First Lady pix
First Lady Betty Ford (1918-2011) signed this warm official color portrait in bold blue ink at the lower right: "Betty B Ford. " The portrait presents her in a salmon colored wrap dress with layered pearl necklace and chandelier earrings, seated before a gilt candelabra backdrop, smiling directly at the camera in the relaxed but polished style that characterized her public the Ford administration. Betty Ford proved a notably unexpectedly consequential First Ladies of the modern era. Her candor about her breast cancer surgery in September 1974, six weeks into her husband's presidency, encouraged a generation of American women to seek screening; her subsequent public acknowledgment of her addiction to alcohol and prescription pain medication led directly to the founding of the Betty Ford Center in Rancho Mirage, California in 1982. Her autograph appears regularly in the market, though portraits as clean and well signed as this example are consistently in demand. Color portrait on white mount; approximately 8 x 10 inches; signed in blue ink "Betty B Ford" at lower right; very good condition with light mount edge handling. This item will be accompanied by a Letter of Authenticity from One of a Kind Collectibles.
