1982 Jordan King Hussein Signed Autograph FDC Envelope George Washington Royalty

Description

This exceedingly rare and historically significant original vintage c.1982 United States President George Washington first day of issue cover (FDC) envelope, boldly hand-signed \”Hussein bin Talal\” by King Hussein of Jordan, is a one-of-a-kind museum-quality artifact that reflects a unique intersection of American and Jordanian history. This exceptional piece, featuring the autograph of one of the most influential Middle Eastern monarchs of the 20th century, serves as a tangible representation of King Husseins diplomatic connections and admiration for global leadership figures.

The envelope is postmarked \”Mount Vernon, FEB 22 1982, 22121,\” commemorating the 250th anniversary of the birth of George Washington, the first President of the United States. The front features a beautiful printed portrait of George Washington, accompanied by the text \”1732-1982 The Father of Our Country.\” Measuring approximately 6.5 by 3.75 inches, the envelope remains in fine original condition, with a clean, blank verso. Due to the porous paper type, the ink of King Husseins signature has slightly bled into the paper, a natural and expected occurrence that does not detract from the visual impact and authenticity of the autograph.

King Hussein bin Talal (19351999) ruled Jordan from 1952 until his passing in 1999, guiding his nation through decades of regional conflict, modernization, and diplomatic efforts for peace. His reign was characterized by strong relations with the United States, strategic leadership, and efforts to maintain stability in the Middle East. As a monarch known for his statesmanship and diplomatic engagement, his signature on an official George Washington first day cover adds profound historical value, symbolizing the mutual respect between nations and leaders across different eras.

This authentic and historically invaluable signed first day cover is an exceptional acquisition for collectors of presidential memorabilia, Middle Eastern history, and rare autographs of world leaders. With its outstanding provenance, fine condition, and the powerful connection between two significant historical figures, this King Hussein-signed George Washington FDC envelope is a prestigious addition to museum collections, historical archives, or distinguished private holdings. It serves as a remarkable fusion of American and Jordanian heritage, making it an extraordinary and irreplaceable piece of diplomatic and autograph history.
