Yousuf Karsh - The "bulldog" photograph

Sir Winston Churchill in the Speaker’s Chambers,
House of Commons, Ottawa, on 30 December 1941

«I said, "Forgive me, sir" and plucked the cigar out of his mouth. By the time I got back to my camera, he looked so belligerent he could have devoured me. It was at that instant that I took the photograph. The silence was deafening.»
