SIR WINSTON CHURCHILL INTEREST: A SIGNED CUBAN CIGAR BOX the lid affixed with an oil painting by George Horace Davis (1881-1963) titled 'The "Atlantic Charter" Voyage. August 1941', signed lower left, the ship depicted is the HMS Prince of Wales, 12cm square, beneath the oil the box bears the signature of Sir Winton Churchill (1874-1965), dated 1942, a guarantee is affixed to the underside of the lid, the box overall measures 12.5cm high x 17.5cm wide x 18cm deepNote: A small number of these cigar boxes appear to have been produced, variously painted by Davis and all signed by Churchill. Some boxes appear to have been gifted and others sold by auction at Christie's, to raise funds for the Red Cross. An Australian newspaper, The Barrier Miner, dated December 3rd 1942, records one box in the Red Cross sale reaching £318. The Christie's Red Cross sales contained numerous donations from political figures and royalty with the money raised to support the war effort. A British Pathé newsreel, available on YouTube, records the significance of the gifts and the success of the sales. The Atlantic Charter voyage was the long and daring journey taken by Churchill to meet with the American President Franklin D. Roosevelt aboard anchored ships in Placentia Bay, Newfoundland. The meeting led to the Atlantic Charter, a declaration outlining the joint war aims of the United States and the United Kingdom. Churchill travelled across the Atlantic on board HMS Prince of Wales, which was sadly destroyed in action shortly afterwards.
