Description

An insightful, lushly illustrated folio-sized study, full of personal detail about Churchill the painter by his youngest daughter, Mary Soames.

This very good copy of the First American edition, in an unclipped dust jacket, is inscribed, signed and dated in ink by the author: “ — with warm good wishes, Mary Soames, Hyde Park, Aug: 1992.”

Loosely laid-in additionally are a leaflet for “Joy Ride in a Paint-Box,” a 1992 exhibit of Churchill’s paintings at the Franklin D. Roosevelt Library and Museum, signed in ink across the front: “Mary Soames;” a typed note about the impending exhibit on Lady Mary Soames notepaper, signed: “Mary Soames” and a Christmas card simply signed: “Mary.”
