CHURCHILL, Winston Spencer (1874-1965)

Portrait photograph signed and inscribed, showing Churchill as Prime Minister at the Cabinet Office table, inscription signed and dated 30 November 1941.

242 x 201mm, laid onto paper atop a card mount, 400 x 280mm, (the print a little silvered at edges otherwise in good condition, the mount with a couple of losses and repairs). Print of a photograph taken by Walter Stoneman in April 1941. Provenance: Profiles in History, 10 July 2012, lot 141.



A splendid large-format print of Churchill’s favourite wartime pose, signed and inscribed on mount seven days before the bombing of Pearl Harbour: ‘Long live the forward march of the common people in all the lands towards their true & just inheritance & towards the broader & fuller age’. Churchill’s words are taken from his 21 October 1940 broadcast to the French people, a stirring address to Occupied France made just days before victory in the Battle of Britain. A little over a year later, and seven days before the bombing of Pearl Harbour on 7 November 1941, Churchill inscribes this unusually large portrait photograph with words from the same speech.



This is among the top five most valuable inscribed photographs by Churchill to have sold at international auction.
