'Long live the forward march of the common people….' CHURCHILL WINSTON S.: (1874-1965) British Prime Minister 1940-45, 1951-55. Nobel Prize winner for Literature, 1953. A truly exceptional vintage wartime signed 11 x 16 photograph, incorporating an autograph quotation, the classic formal image depicting Churchill seated in a half length pose at his desk within the Cabinet Room of 10 Downing Street. Photograph by Walter Stoneman (although his credit stamp masked to the verso by traces of former mounting). Signed ('Winston S. Churchill') in bold, dark fountain pen ink to the lower photographer's mount, with an additional four line quotation in his hand, in full, 'Long live the forward march of the common people in all the lands towards their true & just inheritance & towards the broader & fuller age'. Also dated 30th November 1941 in his hand. War date signed photographs of Churchill of this size and quality are rare, and the present example is greatly enhanced by the addition of his holograph quotation. Some light age wear to the edges of the photographer's mount, evidently caused by previous framing, and with a couple minor creases to the upper left border and corners. About VGChurchill's choice of quotation is an interesting one, and derives (with a couple of very minor alterations) from the conclusion of his Dieu Protégé La France speech which was first broadcast on 21st October 1940, and in which he also declared 'Frenchmen! For more than 30 years in peace and war I have marched with you… Here in London, which Her Hitler says he will reduce to ashes, and which his aeroplanes are now bombarding, our people are bearing up unflinchingly. Our Air Force has more than held its own. We are waiting for the long promised invasion. So are the fishes . . .Remember that we shall never stop, never weary, and never give in . . . We seek to beat the life and soul out of Hitler and Hitlerism….'
