Description
Anon: “Let Us Go Forward Together” 1940. The title quote from Churchill’s famous “blood, sweat and tears” speech to Parliament. Evidently the word “together” referred to only the Commonwealth; England had no other allies after June, 1940 when France was overrun. Churchill’s confidence so amazing. Unique photo-montage which also includes British tanks and planes. Churchill’s tweeds emphasize his role as a dedicated civilian leader’ not a military generalissimo like Hitler and Mussolini. Darracott & Loftus note that the elegant “Varsity” script ‘lends classic nobility’ to the image. Scarce. 30×20 near mint, conservation backed.
