During the darkest days of WWII, as Hitler’s war machine
attempted to pound Great Britain into submission, Vera Lynn became synonymous
with the indomitable spirit of the British people. One of the most celebrated
performers of the 1940s, her hugely popular radio shows, recordings and films
endeared her to the public, helping to reinforce Prime Minister Winston
Churchill’s ‘never give up’ spirit.
Dame Vera celebrated her 100th birthday on 20th March 2017 and to commemorate
this milestone we are proud to present this outstanding edition from the
Military Gallery archives. Reproduced from an original work, in
charcoal and pastel by portrait artist Steve Teasdale, each print is personally
autographed by Dame Vera, giving enthusiasts the opportunity to acquire a
unique and historic collector’s item.
Each copy is issued conservation matted, hand numbered and personally signed by the artist along with Dame VERA LYNN CH DBE OStJ.
Accompanied by a matching numbered certificate. OVERALL
MATTED SIZE: 16 x 21 inches
