Ten (10) original photographs of Churchill (mainly) and Family
The photographs range in size between 3 x 4" to 5 x 7", are in good condition, and comprise unposed views. A 10p stamp (Churchill during the Boer War) is stuck on the largest (corner)(Churchill head and shoulders, smiling with cigar), and another (fourpence halfpenny)(Churchill wearing a peaked cap) is stuck on another (Churchill acknowledging the crowd while in a motorcade). One similar to the first is crudely dated 1949 by the photographer. Other photographs include an informal view (marked, but clear) of Churchill and daughter Mary (names crudely written on front); Churchill talking to an elderly gentlement (informal shot) with his head marked off in ink (this shot of the head is the subject of the photograph mentioned above (1949)); a worn informal shot of Clementine and Mary Churchill sitting in the back of a Land Rover (? - at a race meeting as some of the others?); an informal view marked crudely "Capt. C. Soames & Mary Churchill"; etc. Perhaps Guttmann, as a freelance photographer, was behaving like a paparazzo - unnoticed by his victims. At the same time, the coincidence of photographs (one marked up) and the commemorative stamps suggests that Guttmann provided the images for the stamps. I can find no confirmation of this view.
