Remarkable matte-finish 6.75 x 9.25 photo of Churchill, cigar clenched between his teeth, doing some outdoor masonry work, signed and inscribed in fountain pen, “For Bowen, from Winston S. Churchill, Oct. 14, 1939.” Matted and framed to an overall size of 13.5 x 16. In fine condition. One of Churchill’s most unusual interests and hobbies was bricklaying, which he became quite skilled at, even becoming a qualified member of the Amalgamated Union of Bricklayers. He found the practice relaxing and built a number of things around his Chartwell home, including a brick wall around his vegetable garden and a goldfish pond. A simply fantastic portrait of Churchill showing a generally unknown side of his personality. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
