Description
This very handsomely produced 8-page miniature (4 1/4 x 3 1/4 inches) softcover volume of excerpts from Churchill’s speeches in North America delivered on 26 and 30 December 1941 to the U.S. Congress and Canadian Parliament, respectively, is wonderfully illustrated with many marvelous black and white photographs, as published by The Photochrome Company of London. Bibliographer Ronald Cohen characterizes this as the “Illustrated Edition,” because there were others issued without pictures. A fragile volume in very good condition, this copy also has preserved its original belly band with the printed quote: “Only our own follies can deprive us of Victory.” Very rarely seen thus.
