8.5x11 B&W thick paperstock photograph signed in blue ballpoint ink by Lech Walesa. Light wear on the upper edge. In very good condition; as mentioned the photograph is printed on paper stock and is not on typical glossy stock. Lech Walesa (born 29 September 1943) is a Polish statesman, dissident, and Nobel Peace Prize laureate who served as the president of Poland between 1990 and 1995. After winning the 1990 election, Walesa became the first democratically elected president of Poland since 1926 and the first-ever Polish president elected by popular vote. An electrician by trade, Walesa became the leader of the opposition Solidarity movement and led a successful pro-democratic effort, which in 1989 ended Communist rule in Poland and ushered in the end of the Cold War.

*Common Questions Please Read Before Messaging: After an auction ends the items will be available for buy it now, generally at 2-3 times the auction price, not at a reduced price. With our auctions we aim to give buyers the opportunity to purchase items at a discounted rate and to offer competitive pricing on our items. If you noticed a mistake in any of our listings feel free to let us know so we can correct it, rude or disrespectful messages will result in a block. International shipping rates are not something we can change as we are enrolled in eBay?s international shipping program, we apologize for the inconvenience, this program protects our items shipped over seas.

*Reprints/Preprints: A question we get constantly is ?Is this a reprint?? If the item sold is a reprint, preprint, facsimile, etc it will be clearly listed as such. We will not sell a reprint/preprint signature without clearly describing it as such in the title and description. 

*Shipping is high, we know, but the item price has been lowered to account for the high shipping charge. We ship one way, we don?t make shipping adjustments, asking for a shipping reduction after buying an item will not work. 

*Payment is not required immediately, although preferred. We can hold won auction items for four days without payment but if not payed for before the next auction, the item(s) will be cancelled as will any active bids. 

*Additional photographs will not be provided, we get this request a lot when the back side isn?t shown. If the back isn?t shown it?s because there is no damage, it?s completely blank, or it was described in the description. 

*OFFERS/PRICE REDUCTIONS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED unless they are turned on, please do not message with an offer or request for a lower price unless the offer option is available. Offers/price reduction requests sent will be IGNORED unless the offer option is available.
