A postcard signed by Winston S Churchill 1933
CHURCHILL, Winston S – a signed postcard
London: Walter Thomas (1933)
An A6 postcard of a middle-aged Churchill, sat writing at his desk in 1933; the postcard in black and white, and unused with it being blank on the reverse; Winston Churchill has signed his name in blue ink across the front of the image, latterly the image would display a facsimile black signature, but this card is from an earlier printing and is clearly signed in ink by Churchill himself; the postcard is in near fine condition with no obvious marks or faults.
The postcard taken by Walter Thomas at a time when Churchill was prolific as a writer, penning his first autobiography along with that of his ancestor the Duke of Marlborough. He was out of favour with the Government at this time and kept himself busy on his writing projects. It is within this context that this image, signed by him, is most relevant of that time in his life.
It is difficult to find anything signed by Winston Churchill and so it is a rare item.
