Iconic vintage matte-finish 5.25 x 7 portrait photo of Winston Churchill by Vivienne of London, affixed to its original 8 x 11 mount, which is signed in fountain pen, "Winston S. Churchill.” The reverse of the mount bears a “Vivienne, 20th Century Studios Limited” copyright stamp. In fine condition, with scattered light foxing to the extreme edges of the mount. Vivienne (1889–1982) was a leading society portrait photographer who began as an assistant to her husband Ernest and their son, Antony. In 1949, Antony, by then making a career photographing actors in Hollywood, married Churchill’s daughter Sarah, an actress. Both families became friends and Vivienne made many portraits of Churchill. This is one of her most enduring images.
