President Chiang Ching-kuo (Chinese: 蔣經國) 1986 Photo
Wednesday 12th September 2018
In the mid 1980s Dr. Mehta wrote to many world leaders and leading statesmen seeking their photos and autographs.
Though most responded with stock photos and facsimile autographs, some also wrote personal notes.
Featured is President Chiang Ching-kuo, who was president of the ROC (Taiwan) until his death in 1988. Wiki: "The President of the Republic of China is the head of state of the Republic of China. The ROC was founded in 1912 in mainland China. However, after the ROC lost control of the mainland, the government of the Republic of China relocated to Taiwan in the late 1940s."
We bought a file of many of the letters and photos sent to Dr Mehta, together with other signed photos of politicians from the period, which we shall be listing for sale on Ebay or this website
