Cardinal Basil Hume Archbishop Westminster Autograph Signature c 1980s For Sale

Basil Hume OSB (1923–1999) — Signed sheet. Clear autograph of the Archbishop of Westminster and later Cardinal, signed on one side of a London civic dinner table‑plan (names including Sir & Lady Gordon Manzie, Dr Keith Eaton, W.R. Charman, etc.). The presence of Sir Gordon Manzie (knighted 1978) dates the event — and therefore the signature — to c. 1980–82. A good, confident mid‑period example of Hume’s hand, well before the slower late‑life style of the 1990s.

From the Bernard Sullivan collection of entertainment and public‑life autographs.

PROVENANCE:

From a large collection of Autographs (c500 +) in two albums that were personally obtained by Mr Bernard Sullivan (Apr 1920 - Feb 2017), renowned Senior Toastmaster for the Society of London Toastmasters. Due to the nature of his job, whenever an opportunity arose for an autograph, Sullivan would grab whatever was to hand - a ticket, a menu, back of his notes, etc to capture his prey.

Over his long distinguished career, he worked with many people from around the world including Royalty, Heads of States, Archbishops, HM Judges, Stars of Stage and Screen , Politicians and Sportsmen, many becoming like old friends. During his 58 years as a Toastmaster, he gradually built up a large, impressive collection of autographs, which were all personally collected by him. He cherished them and proudly showed them off to friends and family.
