拍品專文
Mrs. Thatcher wore this jacket to the ballet and subsequent banquet at The Palace of Versailles, hosted by the French President, François Mitterrand, on 20 November 1990 to mark the culmination of the Paris CSCE summit, which officially drew the Cold War to a close. Earlier that evening, Mrs. Thatcher had learned that although she had received more than half of the parliamentary votes
she had not won outright in the first ballot of the Conservative Party leadership election. According to press reports it was only seven minutes after receiving the news that Mrs. Thatcher announced her intention to let her name go forward in the second leadership ballot to the waiting reporters on the steps of the British Ambassador’s Parisian residence, before leaving for Versailles.
Mrs. Thatcher was again photographed wearing this jacket at a later event with former President of the United States, Ronald Reagan.
