Items signed by the one of most famous presidents of the United States are going on sale near Swindon next month.
The items include a series of three engravings given as Christmas cards signed by President John F Kennedy and his wife Jacqueline and are going under the hammer at the Dominic Winter Auction House on October 4.
The collection also includes an original gouache painting produced by the First Lady herself in 1962 after her visit to India and Pakistan.
In all the items are expected to fetch about £20,000 and are being sold because the costs of insuring the items are too high.
The items belonged to the family of Kent woman Maud Shaw, who was the Kennedy family’s nanny during JFK’s presidency.
