Our Images from the Archives catalogue features 125 original press photographs of Churchill spanning 1910-1962, from before the First World War through his final years.
This catalogue features 40 items, all of them signed or inscribed. The items in which you will find these signatures are nearly as diverse as the signers. This catalogue includes books, correspondence, and ephemera, the latter ranging from dinner menus to contract negotiations to encaenia programmes. The commonality among the diverse items in our new catalogue is the “extra ink” – the indelible mark of a human hand beyond what was merely printed or typed. Each item features at least one autograph signature, sometimes more than just one signature, and often more than just a signature – ranging from inscriptions to hand-corrections to holograph letters.
Winston S. Churchill in Correspondence and Photographs
More ephemeral, more candid, more distinctly in and of the moment, correspondence and photographs are able to impart a vital sense of things that no acclaimed book or carefully crafted speech – however Churchillian in its mastery - can quite capture.
Hence this catalogue featuring Winston S. Churchill in correspondence and photographs, featuring 40 items spanning nearly the entirety of Churchill’s twentieth century experience, from 1903 to 1965.
