Let me add to what Terry has said that Library
and Archives Canada retains the entire Yousuf
Karsh archival fonds, textual as well as
photographic. It is of course a treasure trove,
not only with respect to WSC but also to the
splendid Karsh achievements in portraying the
greats of the 20th century: JFK, Russell,
Einstein, Martin Luther King, Casals, Picasso,
Hemingway, Mother Teresa and on and on. One may
obtain permission to consult the fonds as needed for historical projects.

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.

Subject: [ChurchillChat] FW: Yousuf Karsh's
portrait of a smiling Winston Churchill
You might like to see the portrait taken by
Karsh after the more angry one that is so
famous. This captures the twinkle in his eye and
the impish humour on which I report in my
forthcoming book, Working with Winston.

Winston Churchill, 1941
Yousuf Karsh (1908-2002)
Stamped with photographer's ink stamp on reverse
Silver gelatin print

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. We are the sole representative
of the Yousuf Karsh Archive in the UK and we
have recently received information that there
are just five prints remaining. We have two
prints available, with a further three to be
released by the archive with pricing to follow.
