CHURCHILL, Winston Spencer (1874-1965). Portrait photograph depicting Churchill seated at the Cabinet Office table, an unusually large print, 244 x 195mm (348 x 280mm with mount), signed and inscribed on mount TO JOSEPH STALIN, 'From his Friend Winston S. Churchill, September 1944 To Marshal & Premier Stalin who at the head of the Russian Armies & of the Soviet Government broke the main strength of the German military machine & helped us all to open paths to Peace, Justice & Freedom' (very slight silvering to print, mount slightly soiled and creased at margins). Provenance : Sir John "Jock" Colville (1915-1987), assistant private secretary to Churchill: autograph note on label to verso, 'This photograph was inscribed by the P.M. for Stalin but it was then found that the silver frame for which it was destined obscured the inscription. He therefore rewrote it on another photograph and gave me this one. J.R.C.'; and by descent.

Churchill was in North America for the Quebec conference for much of September 1944, returning to London only on 26 September: the dedication of the present photograph is likely to have taken place over the next few days, when Churchill's attendance at the Second Moscow Conference (9-19 October) was still uncertain.
