{"product_id":"churchill-the-roaring-lion","title":"Churchill \u0026 The Roaring Lion (DD407)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis set recreates the taking of one of the most famous photographs ever made. On 30 December 1941, just after Churchill delivered a defiant wartime speech to the Canadian Parliament, the photographer Yousuf Karsh had only minutes to capture him in a side room in Ottawa. Churchill, genial and cigar in hand, would not put the cigar down — so Karsh stepped forward, said \"Forgive me, sir,\" and plucked it from his mouth. The scowl that resulted — jowls set, eyes blazing, one hand gripping a chair — became the defining image of British defiance, the look Karsh titled \"The Roaring Lion.\" Churchill, his humour recovered, told him he could \"make a roaring lion stand still to be photographed.\" Few portraits have been reproduced so often.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eK\u0026amp;C's set is a little tableau: Churchill glaring beside a chair, Karsh calmly working his camera on its tripod, and a three-sided room setting modelled on the actual panelled chamber in Ottawa where the portrait was taken. It makes a self-contained scene, and it pairs with the collection's other Churchill — the defiant 1940 figure with his \u003ca href=\"\/products\/winston-s-churchill\"\u003etommy gun\u003c\/a\u003e — his favourite general, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/monty-in-normandy\"\u003eMonty\u003c\/a\u003e, and the wartime summit where he sat with the other Allied leaders, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/yalta-1945\"\u003eYalta 1945\u003c\/a\u003e.
