Spectacular original glossy 9.75 x 8 Associated Press photo of the Supreme Headquarters Allied Expeditionary Force 'High Command' in London in February 1944, signed in fountain pen by all seven commanders pictured: "Dwight D. Eisenhower," "Omar Bradley," "B. H. Ramsay," "Arthur Tedder," "B. L. Montgomery," "T. Leigh-Mallory," and "W. B. Smith." Annotated in the center in an unknown hand, "The High Command—London Feb. 44." Reverse bears an Associated Press copyright stamp. In very good condition, with moderate overall creasing, a light vertical bend, and a tiny tear to the upper left corner tip. Featuring all members of SHAEF—Lieutenant General Omar N. Bradley, Admiral Sir Bertram Ramsay, Air Chief Marshal Sir Arthur Tedder, General Dwight D. Eisenhower, General Sir Bernard Montgomery, Air Chief Marshal Sir Trafford Leigh-Mallory, and Lieutenant General Walter Bedell Smith—this is an iconic photograph, extremely rare to find fully signed.
