On June 3rd and 4th, 1961, Vienna was the center of world politics. The historic summit between US President John F. Kennedy and Kremlin boss Nikita Khrushchev took place in Vienna. Both statesmen met at these negotiations for the first and only time in their lives.
The menu cards for the state banquet at that time were printed by Huber & Lerner. Two of these menu cards with the autographs of the President's wife, Jackie Kennedy and Nikita Khrushchev, were auctioned off in 1998 at a Guernsey auction in New York. The starting price at that time was the equivalent of 9,000 euros.
