Sir Winston Churchill, captured in a pensive moment upon his arrival at Nice Airport in 1959. Seated in the backseat of a 1948/49 Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith owned by his U.S. publisher, Emery Reves, he looks away from the camera with a furrowed brow. A cigarette is held between his lips as his right hand, adorned with a ring, is raised towards his face. He wears a dark overcoat, and the car’s upholstered interior and a small mirror on the pillar are visible.
