British statesman Winston Churchill (1874 - 1965) wearing old clothes to work on the building site of a new cottage at his Chartwell Manor country estate.
Winston Churchill was in the political wilderness when Kurt Hutton went to photograph him on a visit with Picture Post editor Stefan Lorant. Churchill's subsequent exposure in Picture Post was instrumental in returning him to front line politics.
Lorant described how, at lunch, Churchill shovelled in a whole bowl of steak and kidney pie at the same time as sipping brandy, smoking a cigar and eating chocolate. Churchill did not speak a word while he ate: "It must have been half an hour though it seemed to me like days. He was in a world of his own."
