Inhabited By Winston - 2022
This catalogue features Winston Churchill’s words, inscriptions, and signatures, in his own hand, spanning more than 66 years of his long life. From 31 August 1896 to 11 October 1962. From his ambitious and untested youth to his venerable twilight. Despite the length of this catalogue and the great span of Churchill’s life encompassed, there are only 15 items. We chose a small number of truly compelling items. All have a story to tell. Hence we gave each a each a broader scope of inquiry, consideration, and narrative discourse. We enjoyed sussing and writing. May you enjoy reading.
