Upon his arrival at Nice Airport in 1959, Sir Winston Churchill is captured in the back of a 1948/49 Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith belonging to his U.S. publisher, Emery Reves. Seated in profile with a cigarillo in his mouth, he raises his right hand in his iconic "V for Victory" sign. The blurred scenery through the window of the Park Ward touring limousine suggests the vehicle is already in motion.
