^Lot 217 Charles de Gaulle

Vintage glossy 8 x 10 photo of de Gaulle in uniform, his arms crossed against his chest, signed and inscribed in fountain pen “A M. Agosti, 20/2/41, C. de Gaulle.” In very good condition, with moderate silvering to image and background, visible mostly only at an angle, a few scattered creases and surface marks, and an impression to left edge. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope. A superb pose of the resilient French leader, quite scarce in this size.
