CHURCHILL, WINSTON S.
(1874 - 1965) British Prime Minister who led England through the Blitz and orchestrated the British liberation of occupied Europe and Germany. Churchill is today considered perhaps the greatest statesman of this century. Rare signed book Winston Churchill the Painter, 1958, a catalog of an exhibition of paintings by Churchill which toured the Unites States and Canada, ending at the Smithsonian Institute, 48pp. large 8vo., paper boards, signed on the title page: ""With many thanks from Winston S. Churchill"". Churchill was of course best remembered for his statesmanship, though he has also been recognized as an accomplished painter. This bound catalog bears about 40 plates of his work, with about ten in color, and bears a forward written by his colleague, President Dwight D. Eisenhower. A rare book, covers a bit soiled yet contents are very good.
