Famous Winston Churchill Portrait Stolen From Canadian Hotel (DOGOnews)

A famous portrait of former British Prime Minister, Sir Winston Churchill, has been stolen from the Fairmont Château Laurier in Ottawa, Canada.

"We traveled so much it was difficult to keep up a big home," Estrellita Karsh, now 92, told the New York Times. A signed print of The Roaring Lion fetched $62,500 at a Sotheby's auction in 2020. Prints of Karsh's photographs were disallowed after the artist donated the negatives to Library and Archives Canada in 1992. After several attempts to persuade Churchill to put it out failed, the photographer walked up to him and plucked the cigar out of his hands. The estate director of the late Armenian-Canadian photographer Yousuf Karsh — who took the iconic portrait — instantly knew it was a fake. In 2016, the iconic photograph was featured on Britain's first plastic currency — a five-pound note.
