Churchill’s Grandmama |
Blenheim Publications |
|
$34.99 ex VAT |
Sir Winston Churchill’s paternal grandmother has been a background figure in many biographies but her own story has never been told until now.
She was an inspiring woman, who transformed Blenheim Palace into not only a family home, but also a social and political focus for the life of the nation. She was a deeply caring woman who often acted as a surrogate mother to the younger members of her family, including Winston.
Her crowning achievement, fully and dramatically retold in this book, was her humanity, leadership and skill in averting the effects of the Irish potato famine of 1879. It was this most public performance which brought Frances the award of the Order of Victoria and Albert from Queen Victoria herself, normally reserved for members of the royal family. This absorbing and remarkable book restores a most gracious lady to her proper place at Blenheim Palace. |

| 472.jpgThe 1906 General Election was the first in which Churchill battled as a Liberal. He campaigned for Manchester North-West on a single issue: Free Trade, something that was close to the hearts of his Manchester cotton manufacturing constituents. Although this constituency had long been Tory, Free Trade opened an opportunity for the Liberals who, unlike the Conservatives, were firmly committed to it. Churchill, who'd been brought up in his father Lord Randolph's house as an opponent of tariffs, was swept into office in what would prove to be the last great Liberal landslide. This melodramatic painting of a desperately disadvantaged family in their humble flat with "FREE TRADE" printed across bottom of the image was no doubt used by the Tory party to suggest the economic devastation to come as a result of Free Trade. The card is in very good condition, verso unmarked. |

Autographed |

$0.00 ex VAT |
| 3869.jpgTwo related letters from Winston Churchill, written while out of office during the General Election of 1950, to Walter Layton, Chairman of The News Chronicle. The first is a single page on Chartwell letterhead, dated 26 January, 1950: "My dear Layton, I was surprised to see in the NEWS CHRONICLE...the enclosed picture of a cheering crowd published without any caption, and placed immediately over the result of the first Ô Gallup Election Poll, ' and the headline Ô Tory lead dramatically narrowed. ' Anyone would suppose that the picture was related to the headline...Enquiry however shows that the picture appeared in the GLASGOW HERALD in 1948 on the occasion of the announcement of the Paisley bye-election. As this is certainly not in accordance with the usual principles of British journalism I bring it to your notice, and shall be glad to hear from you before I make the matter public." SIGNED in ink: "Yours sincerely, Winston S. Churchill." The letter, in very good condition, is hole-punched at upper right corner. It is preserved here with the aforementioned newspaper article (and photograph) and a carbon of Layton's letter in reply ("I'm afraid you are reading far more into the picture...than was ever intended."). The response from Churchill, on 28 Hyde Park Gate letterhead, is also here, dated 6 February, 1950: "My dear Layton, Thank you very much for your letter of February 1. I must say I derived the impression from the picture that it was meant to suggest a crowd cheering the announcement. However, I am obliged to you for the explanation you have been good enough to give. Yours very sincerely," SIGNED in ink: "Winston S. Churchill." When Prime Minister Clement Atlee suddenly announced in January 1950 that a General Election would be held on February 23, Churchill abruptly returned to London from an extended winter holiday in Madeira Spain. He took an active part in preparation of the Conservative Party's election manifesto and was clearly attuned to any perceived threats to the party's chances. WALTER THOMAS LAYTON (1884-1966) was Chairman of The News Chronicle from 1930-1950. A former editor of The Economist (1922-1938), he had been Churchill's statistical officer at the Ministry of Munitions during World War I and ran the Joint War Production staff from 1942-43. |

Cummings, of the News Chronicle on 26th May, 1936, in the midst of Churchill's between-the-wars "Wilderness Years, as Hitler's shadow was beginning to lengthen across Europe. "I had a long talk with Churchill. Speaking as he said, on the dead level for private guidance, he was full and candid. It is obvious that he views the whole situation in Europe with grave alarm... but says he is annoyed at the suggestion that he has been waiting on the doorstep for a job..." A.J. Cummings was the legendary political editor of the Liberal-leaning News Chronicle. His Memorandum is addressed to: "Mr. Barry," [Later-Sir] Gerald Barry, another distinguished career journalist, who had just become Managing Editor of the the News Chronicle in 1936, after moving from the Weekend Review, which he had founded, and to their boss, Sir Walter Thomas Layton, Chairman of The News Chronicle from 1930-1950. Layton had been Churchill's statistical officer at the Ministry of Munitions during World War I and would run the Joint War Production staff from 1942-1943. The typescript is in very good condition. |

CHRISTMAS CARD from Winston Churchill to his son, Randolph Churchill |
Autographed |
1 |
$0.00 ex VAT |
| 8302.jpgINSCRIBED entirely in Churchill's hand: "To Randolph & June from Winston S. Churchill," beneath the printed greeting: "With Christmas Thoughts and Wishes." The inscription is in black ink, save for the words "& June," which are in blue ink. Winston Churchill's son Randolph and June Osborne became engaged in October 1948 and were married just a few weeks later on the 2nd of November. For the elder Churchill, June's name was clearly an afterthought on this Christmas card sent to his son that year. Tipped-onto the card face is a color print of Churchill's painting "St Georges Motel." During the 1930's, Churchill came regularly to St. Georges, a chateau approximately 50 miles from Paris, to relax and to paint, staying as a guest of the owners, Jacques and Consuelo Balsan. His last visit was before the war in August 1939. In her book, WINSTON CHURCHILL: His Life as a Painter, Churchill's daughter, Mary Soames, wrote of this last peacetime holiday for her father, "Mr. Churchill grew graver and graver as he sat wrapped in thought, and then said slowly and sorrowfully: ÔBefore the harvest is gathered in - we shall be at war.'" This card was given by Randolph Churchill to Grace Reed, who worked for him at his London home in the late 1940's and early 1950's as a member of his housekeeping staff. The card was acquired directly from the Reed family. |

Covers are a bit scuffed with age, ornamental gilt has faded in places, marble endpapers and fore-edges are slightly faded. Laid-in is a bookplate that reads: "Ex Libris: Winston Churchill," over a line-drawing of St. George slaying the dragon. In recognition of the first Duke of Marlborough's services to King Charles I as Captain of the Horse and his loyalty to King Charles II as a Member of Parliament, Churchill's ancestor was awarded in 1661 an augmentation of honour to his family arms in the form of a canton of St. George, the patron saint of Great Britain. Churchill's own attachment to St. George was manifested throughout his life and career, he spoke often of the emblematic image of St. George slaying the dragon. According to biographer, Martin Gilbert, Winston Churchill did not utilize a bookplate, so far as we know. Did this early bookplate belong to the young Winston? Impossible to say. |
