An extremely rare opportunity to secure an identically framed, canvas copy of the original oil painting that was gifted to Florence Cameron and is now hanging at 10 Downing Street. There are only two prints in existence, one of which is the artist’s copy. This print is particularly special because it is of the village of St Endellion where the Camerons were staying at the time of Florence's birth and it is framed with the same florentine frame as the original. The copy is signed by the Camerons and you will also receive a personalised letter from them on No 10 letterhead following the evening explaining the significance of the painting to them.
