Collection of three interesting items: a French 75mm shell and case, measuring 3.75″ in diameter and 7.25″ tall, with a typed card affixed to the shell reading, “Blank shell fired in memory of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt on April 12th 1945, at formal retreat at Walla Walla Washington. Photos taken by T/Sgt Jean Caillouet,” signed below by Caillouet and including three original photos of the memorial event; a color 9 x 14.75 chromolithograph print by the caricaturist ‘Spy’ from Vanity Fair, September 27, 1900, showing a young Winston Churchill with his arms akimbo, double-matted and framed; and a handsome matching teacup and plate honoring Franklin D. Roosevelt and Winston Churchill as “The Champions of Democracy,” produced by Alfred Meakin of England. In overall very good to fine condition.
