First edition of this collection of Churchill’s brilliant essays on hobbies and painting. Octavo, original cloth, frontispiece, illustrated with eighteen reproductions of Churchill’s paintings in full color. Near fine in the original dust jacket which is in very good condition.
Churchill was a prolific and skilled painter, finding solace in the hobby that he described as "...a friend who makes no undue demands, excites to no exhausting pursuits, keeps faithful pace even with feeble steps, and holds her canvas as a screen between us and the envious eyes of Time or the surly advance of Decrepitude." This volume contains eighteen reproductions in full color of many of his most moving landscapes painted on Lake Como, near the Mediterranean sea, and outside of Monte Carlo.
