Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation.

This painting was originally published on the Republic of the Marshall Islands 60c Winston Churchill The Young Statesman 1900-1914 stamp issued June 16, 2000.

In 1900 Churchill was elected to Parliament as a Conservative, taking his seat in the House of Commons for the first time in January 1901. But his open and sharp criticism of many Conservative policies caused him to break with his party completely. In the 1906 election, Churchill ran as a Liberal and won. Over the next few years, the young statesman served in three important government positions. As undersecretary of state for the colonies, Churchill defended the policy of conciliation and self-government in South Africa. His first cabinet post was president of the board of trade, in which he supported important social reforms in the British government. Then, as home secretary, Churchill achieved significant prison reforms, but he also had to deal with a sweeping wave of industrial unrest resulting in labor strikes.
