Postcard Jimmy Carter Inauguration 1977 Sworn In Warren Burger Rosalynn Chrome

Washington, D.C., USA1977ChromeExcellent

Chief Justice Warren Burger raises his right hand as a beaming Jimmy Carter takes the oath of office on January 20, 1977, with Rosalynn Carter looking on in her teal inauguration coat — the Presidential Seal gleaming gold below them on the Capitol's East Front portico, photographers jostling in the background, history crystallizing in a single color frame. Published by Coral-Lee of Rancho Cordova, California, and printed by the respected Mike Roberts color process in Berkeley, this chrome card is part of a limited inauguration series (CL-LTD.SER.#100/6, SC10637) issued contemporaneously with the event. Carter's inauguration is historically notable for his decision to walk the parade route rather than ride, signaling a new informality in American presidential tradition. Unused and in excellent condition, this card appeals to political memorabilia collectors, Carter Presidential Library enthusiasts, and students of 1970s Americana.
