Vintage matte-finish 6.25 x 4.5 photo of Winston and Clementine Churchill leaving a building, Winston flashing a ‘V for Victory’ sign, signed in fountain pen, “Winston S. Churchill,” and “Clementine Churchill.” Matted to an overall size of 9.25 x 8. In very good condition, with light contrast to Winston’s signature due to darker background and decreased ink flow to last name, moderate contrast to Clementine’s signature, and a couple of light surface creases. By July 1941, the emblematic use of the letter V had spread through occupied Europe. Later that month Churchill put the British government’s stamp of approval on the V for Victory campaign in a speech, from which point he took to using the V hand sign.
