Description
An exceedingly rare original print of this legendary caricature of young Winston Churchill, as published in Vanity Fair magazine on March 8, 1911, drawn by the noted illustrator Frederick Drummond Niblett (1861-1928), whose nome de plume was “Nibs.”
This virtually mint example, measuring 14 1/2 x 9 inches, has been handsomely matted in multi-ply and framed in gilt (17 x 22 1/2 inches overall). Affixed to the frame verso is a copy of the original Vanity Fair personality profile that accompanied this caricature. (“One of the most picturesque personalities in his Majesty’s Ministry today is undoubtedly Mr. Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill, the Home Secretary.”)
