Marvelous vintage wartime matte-finish 5.5 x 7.25 three-quarter-length portrait of Prime Minister Churchill in formal attire, affixed to its original 7 x 10 mount, signed on the mount in fountain pen, "Winston S. Churchill, 1942." Reverse bears the credit stamp of Walter Stoneman of J. Russell & Sons. In fine condition, with light silvering to the edges of the image, and a few tiny scratches to its upper background area. A superlative example signed during the Second World War. As such, highly desirable.
Working for J. Russell & Sons, Walter Stoneman took numerous photographs of royalty, aristocracy, members of high society, and other prominent individuals from the late 19th century to the mid 20th century. He was made a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) for services to photography, and was a fellow of both the Royal Photographic Society and the Royal Geographical Society.
