Photographing Churchill
 
"While in England I also covered the election campaign of the Conservative Party and traveled with Churchill for several days. He became Prime Minister two weeks after this picture was taken. In Liverpool I caught him dozing a little on the dais before his speech. When the band started to play the National Anthem, his son Randolph tapped him on the shoulder and up shot his fingers like a viper." 
- Alfred Eisenstaedt
