Winston Churchill Signed Document and Original Press Photographs

A document signed by Winston Churchill, one of the most significant world leaders in 20th century history, accompanied by superb rare press photography.

This document relates to the naturalisation of a Russian immigrant and his family prior to WWI.

Certificates of Naturalization could be issued to any 'alien' who had lived in Britain for more than five years.

These applications were then signed off personally by the Secretary of State for the Home Office, a role to which Churchill was promoted in 1910.

At just 35 years old, he was the second-youngest politician in British history to ever hold the position.

The two-page document is dated September 16, 1911, and bears Churchill's signature on the second page.

The document includes pencil annotations in the top right corners of both sheets, and has minor soiling.

Also included is a collection of 15 original wartime press photographs featuring Winston Churchill on several occasions.
