Yes the smiling Churchill is a nice contrast to the “angry” one.
Actually Karsh took seven photos in all at the time – with the assistance of Library and Archives Canada staff they were uncovered in 2011 and published in my book Winston Churchill and Mackenzie King, So Similar So Different. All seven were shown on the cover of Finest Hour # 154, Spring 2012, Churchill and Canada 1900 – 1955 issue.

This captures the twinkle in his eye and the impish humour on which I report in my forthcoming book, Working with Winston. <https://gallery.mailchimp.com/0a72a21d5eb6f3020fed27f59/images/0df9c428-67b0-4aab-925e-fc7f21742083.jpg> <https://gallery.mailchimp.com/0a72a21d5eb6f3020fed27f59/images/417047e3-353c-4d68-8b08-78a587475e30.jpg> Winston Churchill, 1941 Yousuf Karsh (1908-2002) Stamped with photographer's ink stamp on reverse Silver gelatin print 16 x 20 inches £10,500 Dear Irwin, I am delighted to present this alternative portrait by Yousuf Karsh of the enigmatic Winston Churchill, taken upon Churchill's trip to North America in 1941. The photograph was taken at the same sitting as Karsh's now infamous portrait of a disgruntled Churchill, which has become the most recognisable image of the politician. Karsh was invited to photograph Churchill by the Canadian Prime Minister, MacKenzie King, following his speech in the Canadian House of Commons. Karsh was waiting, with his equipment prepared, for Churchill as he entered the Speaker's Chamber, however, the politician had not been warned of sitting and, becoming irritated, lit one of his trademark cigars. Karsh waited patiently until Churchill relented and agreed to have his photograph taken. He would not however put down his cigar, so the young Karsh audaciously stepped forward and pulled it from Churchill's mouth. This action produced one of the most important portraits of the twentieth century, as a stoic Churchill stares back at the camera. Impressed by Karsh's boldness, Churchill allowed him to take a second portrait, depicting a more relaxed Churchill with the same characterful expression and dramatic lighting that Karsh is celebrated for.
