London: Punch, 1911. This original printed appearance of a Punch cartoon featuring Winston S. Churchill comes from the personal collection of Gary L.

This cartoon titled "The Parliamentary Ballerine Trip Smartly Forward to the Footlights Again.” appeared thus on p.85 of the 1 February 1911 issue of Punch. The artist is Edward Tennyson Reed. The cartoon is captioned "(The Artist was so overwhelmed by the charms of the first few who presented themselves that he has had to omit six hundred and sixty odd coryphees of hardly less attractive mien.)" In this cartoon, prominent Members of Parliament including Balfour, Churchill, Lloyd George, and Austen Chamberlain are again taking the stage in the House with all as prima donnas. A coryphee is a ballet dancer who dances in a small group rather than… Read More

Punch or The London Charivari began featuring Churchill cartoons in 1900, when his political career was just beginning.

Joseph Caillaux was a French politician who led the Free Radical Party and, in this cartoon, represents his countrymen, traveling on foot.

London: Punch, 1912. This original printed appearance of a Punch cartoon featuring Winston S. Churchill comes from the personal collection of Gary L.

This cartoon titled "THE PLAIN DEALER." appeared thus on p.205 of the 20 March 1912 issue of Punch. The artist is Leonard Raven-Hill. Then First Lord of the Admiralty, Churchill supported the Admiralty's "Two-Power Standard," a level of strength enabling the Royal Navy to defeat the next two most powerful navies in battle. Nevertheless, Churchill hoped that Germany and Britain might avoid a costly arms race. Hence the caption: "(The Navy Estimates just issued are expressly stated by Mr. Churchill to be conditional upon the naval programmes of other nations.")" The flag, of course, evokes Nelson's famous exhortation at Trafalgar: "England expects… Read More

Description:
London: Published by Evening Standard, supplied by Keystone Press Agency Ltd., 1943. Photograph. This is an original Second World War press photograph of British Prime Minister Winston S. Churchill and his wife, Clementine, at the Memorial Service for Sir Kingsley Wood on 24 September 1943. The gelatin silver print on heavy glossy photo paper measures 6 x 8 inches (15.24 x 20.32 cm).

The verso of the photograph tells the story of its origin. A red ink stamp indicates that the photograph was supplied by “KEYSTONE PRESS AGENCY LTD.” A black ink stamp testifies that this print was “RECEIVED” on “24 SEP 1943” by the “EVENING… Read More

Description:
London: Palestine Exploration Fund, 1914. First English Edition, first issue binding. Hardcover. This first edition, first issue is the first work published in book form of the man who would a few short years later be transformed from an eccentric junior intelligence officer into “Lawrence of Arabia”. During the First World War Thomas Edward Lawrence (1888-1935), just out of Oxford on an archaeology expedition with the British Museum, was summoned to Cairo where his experience in the language and geography of the region was put to use by the Foreign Office. There began his remarkable odyssey as instigator, organizer, hero, and tragic figure of the Arab revolt against the Ottoman Empire. This copy is the First (English) edition, in the first (1914) issue binding. Condition approaches very good plus, sound, complete, and free of any repair or restoration. The original quarter cloth and printed, paper-covered boards binding remains square and tight. Wear is remarkably light given the fragility of… Read More

Description:
London: Hodder and Stoughton, 1910. First edition, only printing. Paperback. This is the first edition, first state of this striking, scarce, and fragile early collection of Churchill's speeches. In 1904, Churchill quit the Conservative Party and joined the Liberals, beginning a dynamic chapter in his political career that saw him champion progressive causes and be branded a traitor to his class. In 1910, when The People's Rights was published, Winston Churchill was a powerful political force and a member of the Cabinet. From December 3-11, 1909 Churchill was on the campaign trail on behalf of the Liberals. The People's Rights is a distillation of these nine days of speeches, criticizing the House of Lords (which had rejected the Liberal Government's budget, thus precipitating the campaign) and championing Free Trade, a graduated income tax, luxury tax, and surtaxes on unearned income. Churchill's efforts were not wasted; as a result of the election, the Liberals would achieve a slim majority… Read More

Description:
London: Hodder and Stoughton, 1910. First edition. Paperback. This is the first edition of this early collection of Churchill's speeches. The People's Rights was most commonly issued in an exceptionally perishable form, in vividly hued, thin, yellow-orange paper wraps (with a halftone photo of Churchill on the cover) and contents printed on cheap, pulp paper. Consequently, few copies survive, and significant wear, losses, and general deterioration are common to those copies that endure. Given the inherent fragility of the edition, this copy is respectable, intact and unrestored but suffering the usual depredations and minor loss. Second state of the first edition is confirmed by a second Appendix rather than an Index at pages 149-152 and lack of a pagination error at p.71. The illustrated wraps remain attached – albeit tenuously, with a split to the upper rear hinge of the rear cover. The covers and spine are dulled and show overall soiling with losses to extremities, the largest being at the lower… Read More

Description:
London: Conservative and Unionist Central Office, 1947. 1st Edition. Paperback. First edition, only printing. This is Churchill's 12 March 1947 speech in the House of Commons criticizing Socialist economic policies. The 16-page, wire stitched paper pamphlet measures 8.5 inches by 5.5 inches and is printed in dark blue. "It is right to arouse our people to the peril in which they stand. Only when they realize fully the decline and descent... into which they have fallen, and in part, been thrust, since our glorious victory, will those forces arise in the land in which redemption and recovery can be found." Less than two years earlier, Churchill's Conservatives had been soundly defeated in the General Election at the end of the war. Churchill would head opposition to the Labour Government until the General Election of 1951, which returned the Conservatives to majority and Churchill to the office of Prime Minister. This is a fragile pamphlet, printed on cheap paper. Here is a crisp copy with only… Read More

Description:
London: Hodder and Stoughton, Ltd., 1909. First edition. Hardcover. This is among the rarest Churchill first editions – the first edition, only printing of The PeopleÂ’s Rights in the hardcover binding – one of only 100 bound thus. Moreover, this copy is a compellingly clean, complete, and unrestored survivor. Condition is very good plus, particularly for the edition, and quite elusive thus. The binding is square and tight with no warp or lean. The binding is surprisingly bright and unsullied, the spine color quite strong with only the slightest sunning, the gilt print on both front cover and spine vividly bright. Light wear is substantially confined to the corners, hinges, and spine ends. The contents were printed on cheap pulp paper which always browns and becomes brittle. These contents are toned, as usual, but less so than typical and notably clean. Moreover, we note none of the typical edge chipping, no spotting, no previous ownership marks, and no cracking at the gutters. The top edge gilt… Read More
