A FINE, INSCRIBED PHOTO PORTRAIT OF CHURCHILL IN HIS SECOND PREMIERSHIP, signed and inscribed on lower margin: "To James Dunn from his friend of many years Winston S. Churchill." A Canadian-born financier and industrial magnate, Dunn (1874-1956) worked with Churchill during the Great War when he helped supply nickel from Norway. He was a man of great wealth and many eccentricities, such as having his shoe laces ironed, and commissioning 13 different portraits of himself, including one by Salvador Dali.
