An exceptionally scarce and historically significant artifact package from the Cultural Revolution era. This lot features an authentic, original copy of Quotations from Chairman Mao Tse-tung (famously known globally as the "Little Red Book"), alongside a vintage gelatin silver portrait photograph depicting the Chairman seated in a chair.
The piece is prominently hand-signed by Mao Zedong in fountain pen ink. Signed variants of this text are among the rarest and most sought-after political autographs of the 20th century. This lot is accompanied by critical authentication papers and provenance documents verifying its legitimacy, making it a premier center-piece for advanced collectors of modern Chinese history, political memorabilia, or rare manuscripts.
