Another purchase was made by Noel Coward. Franklin White came to England from Australia in 1913 and two years later entered the Slade School as a student. He worked at the Admiralty making drawings in the Airship department during the First World War until 1919 when he re-entered the Slade and was shortly invited by Professor Tonks to join the teaching staff where he remained until he retired in 1957. On his retirement he turned his full attention to the Samuel Palmer School of Art, which had been operating at his home in Shoreham since 1924 when he first held summer classes in landscape painting for his Slade students. In the fifties the school expanded to take residential students, and even though ill-health caused him to restrict his activities in later years, many local part-time students were helped to achieve a better standard of painting and drawing through the classes held in the studio. The Slade School of Fine Art (informally “The Slade”) is a world-renowned art school in London, United Kingdom, and a department of University College London. It consistently ranks as the UK’s premier Art and Design educational institution. Franklin White was first accepted as a student at Slade School of Fine Art University College London in 1915. In 1916 he left the Slade for war work in the Aircraft Department of the Admiralty where he was employed drawing parts of bombed enemy planes. He said later that it was at the Admiralty that he really learned to draw. In 1919 when the war was over he returned to The Slade to continue his studies. After two more terms he was invited by Professor Henry Tonks to join the teaching staff. He continued at the Slade School until he retired in 1957. Exhibited in various mixed exhibitions including the Redfern and Agnews Galleries and at the New English Art Club and other famous institutions. 1962 Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother purchased a small oil painting ‘Regina’ from the exhibition at the Maidstone Museum.

8 o (10 x 7 in.). Text in black, red and blue. Original vellum-backed marbled boards, black morocco lettering piece, top edge gilt, others uncut (spine with slightest soiling); original board slipcase. FDR'S FINAL WHITE HOUSE CHRISTMAS BOOK, INSCRIBED TO HARRY TRUMAN'S FUTURE VICE-PRESIDENT LIMITED EDITION, number 16 of 100 copies. PRESENTATION COPY, INSCRIBED BY THE PRESIDENT TO SENATOR ALBEN BARKLEY OF KENTUCKY: "For Alben Barkley at Christmastide, 1944 from Franklin D. Roosevelt." Alben Barkley (1877-1956) had been Chairman of the 1940 Democratic Convention and was one of only eight Congressmen informed of the impending declaration of war on Japan in 1941. Through Barkley at the 1940 Convention, Roosevelt delivered a statement stating that he had no desire to serve another term and urged the delegates to vote for whomever they pleased. Barkley later served as Vice President under Harry S. Truman and, due to a contraction coined by his 10-year-old granson, was the first to be called the "Veep." The President's D-Day prayer, delivered in the evening of 6 June 1944 after Allied forces commenced their invasion of Nazi-occupied Normandy, helped salve the nation's worries during this traumatic period. Its moving cadence is evidenced throughout: "Many people have urged that I call the Nation to a single day of special prayer. But because the road is long and the desire is great, I ask that our people devote themselves to a continuance of prayer." Inscribed copies of this Christmas book are SCARCE. See Halter, pp.193-4. A FINE ASSOCIATION COPY. Provenance : Amyx, 1987.
