CHURCHILL (WINSTON)
Footnotes
This photograph was taken by Reginald Haines in about 1907, some four years before Churchill was appointed First Lord. A note on the back states that it was given by Churchill's private secretary Eddie Marsh to Christopher Hassall. Marsh, Churchill's secretary since 1907, was also an important patron of literature and painting. In the 1930s he was to take the young poet and librettist Christopher Hassall under his wing; and Hassall to write his biography, hailed as 'a lasting contribution to the cultural and social history of the first half of the twentieth century' and 'the result of his long friendship with Eddie' (John Guest, DNB).
