United Nations Guest Book -- Arthur J. Goldberg. Personal Guest Book of the Arthur J. Goldbergs, maintained during his tenure as U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations. Folio, 110 leaves, gilt edges, leather bound. Dates run from October 3, 1965 to July 2, 1968. All signatures are bold, condition is fine.
Dating from their opening event on October 2, 1965 (for a "Dinner in honor of the President and Mrs. Johnson") through the final entry on July 2, 1968, the Goldbergs collected several thousand signatures from astronauts, artists, poets, labor leaders, charity committees, foreign ministers and world leaders. On the first page alone, we find the signatures of the Johnsons, the Humphreys, Robert F. Kennedy, Dean Rusk and U Thant. Throughout this volume, other notables catch the eye; Edward White, James McDivitt, Golda Meir, Teddy Kolleck, Robert Rauschenberg, Betty Ford, Edwin White, Willy Brandt and most of the U.N. Security council. The international depth of this collection is remarkable, particularly in terms of U.N. signatures. A wonderful piece for any international/U.N. collection.
