Complete run of eight issues of The British Gazette (No. 1-8), edited by Winston S. Churchill, each measuring 18.5 x 23.5, May 5-13, 1926. This was the government's anti-strike paper published during the General Strike of 1926; Churchill, a former journalist then serving as Chancellor of the Exchequer, was appointed editor and wrote much of the periodical's material. The Gazette ran to only eight editions before the strike collapsed; the last edition, published May 13th, 1926, had the headline: "General Strike Off." In overall very good to fine condition, with a few edge tears, and minor foxing and toning. Accompanied by a large hardcover portfolio.
