Black and white photograph of Winston Churchill delivering a speech before the General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Virginia on March 8, 1946, with General Dwight D. Eisenhower seated to his left. Signed in the lower margin of the photograph, "Winston S. Churchill" and "Dwight D. Eisenhower." Additionally signed by Virginia Governor William M. Tuck, Lieutenant Governor of Virginia Lewis Preston Collins II, and Field Marshal Henry Maitland Wilson. Three days after his famous 'Sinews of Peace (Iron Curtain)' speech at Westminster College in Fulton, Missouri, on March 5, 1946,ÂChurchillÂtraveled to the Virginia State Capitol in Richmond, Virginia, where he gave an address to the joint houses of the Virginia General Assembly. Flanked by GeneralÂEisenhowerÂand Field Marshal Wilson,ÂChurchill built upon his Iron Curtain message, emphasizing the importance of post-war unity by drawing historical parallels with past conflicts such as the Revolutionary and Civil Wars. A resounding applause followed the conclusion of his speech: "It is in the years of peace that wars are prevented and that those foundations are laid upon which the noble structures of the future can be built. But peace will not be preserved without the virtues that make victory possible in war. Peace will not be preserved by pious sentiments expressed in terms of platitudes or by official grimaces and diplomatic correctitude however desirable these may be from time to time. It will not be preserved by casting aside in dangerous years the panoply of warlike strength. There must be earnest thought. There must also be faithful perseverance and foresight. Great Heart must have his sword and armor to guard the pilgrims on their way. Above all, among the English-speaking peoples, there must be the union of hearts based upon conviction and common ideals. That is what I offer. That is what I seek." After a series of boisterous chants,ÂEisenhower also took to the podium and addressed the assembly: "'Of all the things that supported me through three and a half years of warfare on the European continent, I know of no other single thing that was of greater moral benefit than the unwavering, staunch, indomitable, courageous support of the Prime Minister of Great Britain. It is my earnest conviction that only history can measure even remotely the true value of the worth of the service he has rendered to all of us. But I am certain that in meetings such as this, with the wholehearted welcome he finds in this city from my own countrymen to him, he will gain some little measure of understanding in his own time of what we think of him." In near fine condition, with lightly trimmed edges, and some creasing to the borders. Triple matted and framed. The photograph measures 12 inches by 10 inches. The entire piece measures 20.25 inches by 17.5 inches. An exceptional signed photograph with a highly desirable assemblage of autographs. Winston Churchillâs oratory during the Second World War played a pivotal role in sustaining British morale and fortifying resistance against Nazi Germany. His speeches combined rhetorical mastery with psychological acuity, transforming language into a strategic weapon of war. Addressing the nation during its darkest hoursâ"such as after the fall of France in 1940â"Churchillâs declarations of defiance (âWe shall fight on the beachesâ¦â) articulated not only military determination but also a collective moral resilience. His use of repetition, cadence, and vivid imagery appealed to both reason and emotion, forging unity across class and political divisions. Beyond mere motivation, Churchillâs rhetoric effectively redefined the narrative of the war: from one of imminent defeat to one of enduring struggle for freedom and civilization. By shaping public perception and maintaining confidence in ultimate victory, his speeches became integral to Britainâs psychological endurance and international standing, influencing Allied cohesion and laying the groundwork for eventual triumph over totalitarianism. …

A firsthand account of this pivotal moment in the war, written by Lieutenant-Colonel George Maitland Edwards while he was staff officer and Russian translator to General Charles St Leger Barter. Edwards recounts his displeasure with the Russian army and its poor discipline. The only other copy we have traced is held by the IWM, although theirs is only 65 pages long, and we have been unable to trace a published edition. Edwards (1882-1946) first went to Russia in the pre-war period, where he worked in mining in Siberia and the Urals. In 1914 he joined the Royal Artillery and served in France and Gallipoli in charge of 254 Tunnelling Company. In 1917 he was sent to Russia with General Barter, British Military Representative to the Headquarters of the Russian Armies in the Field, to inspect the state of the front line. Edwards recounts multiple instances of poor discipline among Russian troops, such as on 1 July, when Russian soldiers dove into the German trenches "like rabbits" (p. 17) instead of continuing on. He recalls his shock at the lack of communication between artillery and infantry, as well as his bemusement at an attempt to fight off German planes in Bac u he described as, "the very poorest shooting at aeroplanes I have ever witnessed" (p. 49). He attributes this to poor leadership and Kerensky's abolition of the death penalty. Nevertheless, he compliments the actions of the 8th Army despite being disheartened by the overall failure of the offensive. The work also includes a gelatin silver photograph of a British general relaxing with Russian troops. We have been unable to trace a published edition of this account. Folio (326 x 199 mm), ff. 71. Carbon copy typescript on rectos only, occasional contemporary typescript corrections, sepia gelatin silver photograph (40 x 58 mm) mounted on verso of p. 14. Recent red quarter leatherette, spine gilt-lettered direct, low bands ruled in gilt, red cloth boards, top edge gilt, others untrimmed. Boards a little soiled and marked, extremities slightly rubbed, contents bright with minor foxing to endpapers, first leaf chipped at foot in gutter: a very good example.…
