Signed and dated in ink below the image by Winston Churchill and A. Egerton Cooper. The original "Profile for Victory" portrait of Churchill hangs in the The Carlton Club, London. According to Cooper's son, the "Profile" was acquired through the generosity of Sir Edward Mortimer Mountain (1872-1950), chairman of Eagle Star Insurance Company, who then donated the portrait in 1948.
Sheet size 66.5 x 51 cm. Framed size 72 x 57 cm. Offset lithograph after an oil painting by Cooper showing Churchill half length sitting in a leather chair and holding his trademark cigar. Beneath the image in italics reads 'The Right Honourable Winston Spencer-Churchill, C.H., M.P., Prime Minister and First Lord of the Treasury and Minister of Defence.' Very light stain to the extreme lower edge and light rippling to lower left. Presented in the original 1940s oak frame.
