Item Details
Description
Churchill (Sir Winston Spencer).- [Mellish (Florence Vivienne)], "Vivienne". Photographic portrait of Sir Winston Churchill, signed by Churchill on mount "Winston S. Churchill | 1955", 130 x 160mm, photographer's stamp to verso, framed, [c.1950].*** One of Churchill's favourite portraits, which was used for his 1950 election campaign. The photograph was taken by Churchill's daughter Sarah's mother-in-law, "Vivienne", who was known as the "Grand Old Lady of the Camera", due to her insistence that all subjects come to her studio rather than she to them. Churchill, however, was the exception and during their ten minute session, Vivienne produced nine studies of which this is one. Framed in an antique silver frame.
