In the pic with Churchill, do we know where that pic of Churchill is from? (museum?) and what the situation of the pic was? I see a pen next to Churchill’s hand and a ledger or something of sorts. I’m trying to track down that image. But it is notable that Trumps reflection is in the pic.

“...do we know where that pic of Churchill is from?...”

I Looked around, the best that I could up with is:

Winston Churchill

by Walter Stoneman
vintage print, 3pm 1 April 1941
10 7/8 in. x 8 1/4 in. (275 mm x 209 mm)

When Walter Stoneman photographed Winston Churchill he was the eighth Prime Minister he had photographed for the National Photographic Record (see article published in Illustrated, 19 April 1941). Another copy of this print was reputedly kept on Stalin’s desk in the Kremlin. Sensing the historical significance of the sitting Stoneman recorded not just the date but the hour it was taken.
