General Botha on silk! 11 years 5 months ago #20291

coldstream Topic Author Offline Moderator Posts: 2056 Thank you received: 215	I bought this on ebay and thought it might be an interesting item. An image of General Botha printed on silk, the artists name looks like Reginald Haines. Anybody seen anything like this before, new to me.

Hello Paul,
I would think so, I'm confident that any manufacturer would have issued a set, rather than just a single piece, but, Haines was a well known portrait photographer, if you go down to the NPG in St Martin's you would see much of his work, which went across the whole range of subject matter, including politicians too, moreover, Botha certainly falls into this particular sphere.
Regards Frank
