Visitors Register for the Whitney Institute, 7.75 x 9.75, 46 pages, containing approximately 1000 guest signatures from 1901-1920, most of which are accompanied by a member signature in the “Introduced By” column. Signed on the third page “Winston S. Churchill,” on January 3, 1902, also signed by Churchill’s cousin, the 9th Duke of Marlborough. In good to very good condition, with scattered toning and soiling, tear to lower right, and some stray ink marks. Register itself rates good to very good, with toning and soiling throughout, edge tears, some scattered paper loss, and moderate wear and surface loss to covers and spine. The next day, Churchill, who was at this particular social club to enroll recruits for the Boer War, was commissioned as a captain in the Queen’s Own Oxfordshire Hussars (QOOH), a regiment of the British Army between 1888 and 1922. The regiment served in the Boer War and during World War I.
