SOURCE: This original WWI art is from my private collection and was displayed as part of WWHAM's "Brushes With War" exhibit of original art by the Troops of World War I from 2011-2014. In 2018 it was presented as part of the "Brushes WIth War" exhibition at the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum in Glasgow, Scotland. It is also featured in the WWI art book, "Brushes With War: Paintings and Drawings by the Troops of World War I" by Joel R. Parkinson (Schiffer Publishing, Ltd., 2014). The World War History & Art Museum (WWHAM) in Alliance, Ohio and its collection are privately owned. WWHAM closed to the public in April 2014 so the Brushes With War art collection could travel to other museums. Now that tour is complete and I am downsizing by selling off a small fraction of my art collection.
I AM ALSO LISTING WWII ORIGINAL PHOTOS.

Packing and USPS postage in the US is calculated. Ohio residents must add 6.5% sales tax. No reserve.
