Godden includes reference to this silk whilst discussing more modern silks.

Other comments:
As was customary with all Brough, Nicholson & Hall silk pictures, the actual silk is glued to the inside of a fold over stiff paper cover, with a window cut in the front through which the silk is seen framed.

There is no writing on the inside of this cover, although on the back is a synopsis of Churchill's life:-
