€ 650,00

A group of nine original vintage photographs taken at the Cairo Conference on 25 November 1943.

Taken at the famous Cairo Conference of Allied leaders during World War II, the compilation shows both portraits and group photos, mostly taken while the subjects are looking away from the camera, which led to natural poses. The three photo portraits show Franklin D. Roosevelt, Chiang Kai-shek, and Winston Churchill with Soong Mei-ling. The group photos show Roosevelt, Chiang and Churchill sitting at the front with officials and functionaries behind them (including Winston Churchill's daughter Sarah Churchill, British Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs Anthony Eden and General Dwight D. Eisenhower), as well as one photo of the meeting of American and British chiefs of staff on 4 December 1943. The location is the Mena House in Cairo.

A bit curled, otherwise well preserved.
