Dear all,
I hope that you all had a Merry Christmas and wish you health and
happiness for 2012.
I am closing the last chapter of a book on Churchills oratory (to be
launched during
The Gothenburg Book Fair in November 2012). My publisher has repeatedly
asked how to
source photos and other illustrations, and I have not been able to
provide an answer.
I just wonder if the list members could offer some advice when it comes
to sourcing for
WSC photos and cartoons. Where do you begin the search? Are there photos
that could be
used free of charge for this kind of publication?
I would be very thankful for any piece of advice. I will also draw the
attention to the fact that
the new year marks the centenary of a number of great speeches crafted
by The Great Man.
In 1912, he mobilized the courage to go to Belfast to address hostile
crowds on the subject of
Irish Home Rule. He spoke up against German intentions to challenge
Britain´s dominance at
sea and for intensified British naval preparedness. In my opinion, his
most magnificent speech
during this dramatic year was delivered in The Commons on April 30 in an
attempt to cool
the passions aroused by the issue of Home Rule. It is a speech of
passion, prudence and
clear perception of the situation. WSC at his best!
I regret that my book will be published in Swedish, but hope to find a
British or US publisher
- provided that Swedish critics will give favourable reviews.
All the best for 2012
Peter Adler
