Churchill: a life in cartoons

Winston Churchill was a figure cartoonists loved to ridicule, boost or lampoon – sometimes all at once!  

Funnily enough, Churchill was not hurt by unfavourable cartoons, but rather enjoyed them and had some of them framed and hung around the walls of his home at Chartwell. To mark the 150th anniversary of his birth, this talk presents Churchill’s career through a series of political cartoons.

Join Dr Tim Benson, who is Britain’s leading authority on political cartoons and who runs the Political Cartoon Gallery and Café in London, to discuss the numerous Churchill cartoons featured in his latest book Churchill – A Life in Cartoons.​
