*Canadian man jailed for stealing iconic Churchill portrait* A Canadian man, Jeffrey Wood, has been sentenced to nearly two years in prison after admitting to the theft of a historic photograph of Sir Winston Churchill from Ottawa’s Château Laurier hotel. The stolen image—famously known as The Roaring Lion—was an original print taken by renowned photographer Yousuf Karsh in 1941, capturing Churchill's stern expression moments after addressing the Canadian parliament. The portrait is so iconic it appears on the UK’s £5 banknote. https://dennislawnews.com/article/canadian-man-jailed-for-stealing-iconic-churchill-portrait
