Signed copy of King Edward VIII's abdication speech, framed with a photograph of the momentary King. Read worldwide via radio on 11 December 1936, speech reads in part, ''...I lay down my burden. It may be some time before I return to my native land; but I shall always follow the fortunes of the British race and Empire with profound interest...God bless you all. God save the King!'' Boldly signed ''Edward / Duke of Windsor'' in black ink. Speech measures 6.75'' square, matted and framed to 13.5'' x 18.75''. Very good.
