Description
NEVILLE CHAMBERLAIN Signed Photograph.
Arthur Neville Chamberlain. British Conservative prime minister (1937-1940).
Signed Photograph. An original silver bromide photograph by the Bassano photographic studios. Signed in ink on the mount by Neville Chamberlain with a fine autograph signature and also signed in pencil by the photographer. Framed and glazed.
The image measures 7.75 x 9.75 inches. Total size (including mount and frame) 12.5 x 16.75 inches. In fine condition.
A nice image of a dapper looking Neville Chamberlain who fixes a benign gaze on the camera. The photograph was taken at the studios of Bassano Ltd on 3rd March 1936, a year before he replaced Stanley Baldwin as prime minister. Neville Chamberlain resigned the premiership in May 1940 and was replaced by Winston Churchill. He died 6 months after leaving office, making his one of the scarcer 20th century prime minister autographs. A very pleasing example.
