ATTLEE CLEMENT: (1883-1967) British Prime Minister 1945-51. A fine vintage signed 8 x 11.5 photograph of Attlee, the image depicting him standing in a three-quarter length pose alongside a number of rows of full bookshelves. Photograph by Walter Stoneman (September 1945). Signed ('C R Attlee') in fountain pen ink with his name alone to the lower photographer's mount. Framed and glazed in the original plain wooden frame to an overall size of 9 x 12. Signed photographs of Attlee, particularly of this size and quality, are surprisingly scarce. VG
Provenance: The present photograph was signed for Peter Geoffrey Oates (1919-2007) British civil servant who worked in the Prime Minister's office at 10 Downing Street from 1951, firstly as private secretary to Attlee, and later to Winston S. Churchill.
