An autographed photo of a meeting between British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and Russian Politburo member Mikhail Gorbachev. The two leaders are shown outside Chequers on the 16th December 1984, accompanied by their respective spouses, Denis Thatcher and Raisa Gorbachev. All four subjects have signed across the bottom of the image; Denis in blue ink, the others in black.
At the time of the photo, Gorbachev was a Secretary of the Central Committee. In December 1984 he visited Britain at the request of Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher; she was aware that he was a potential reformer and wanted to meet him, famously declaring at the end of the visit: "I like Mr Gorbachev. We can do business together".
