Item description from seller

First American Edition. A terrific anthology of Churchill's essays and magazine articles from the 1920s and early 1930s on a wide variety of subjects, including "Painting as a Pastime." Issued in the U.S. under the title AMID THESE STORMS. This very good copy of the First American edition in the rare dust jacket is signed in ink on the front free endpaper: "Inscribed by Winston S. Churchill for Thomas Pickhardt February 1934."THOMAS PICKHARDT was the son of Dr. Otto C. Pickhardt, the renowned New York City surgeon who treated Winston Churchill at Lenox Hill Hospital on the night of December 13, 1931, after Churchill was struck by a car on Fifth Avenue while searching for Bernard Baruch's apartment building. Pickhardt subsequently became a friend and frequent correspondent of Churchill's and clearly had this book signed for his sonThe dust jacket is unclipped but edge-worn and edge-chipped, with significant fading to the spine. There is loss of approximately one-inch across the spine head of the jacket and a smaller loss along the lower edge. The front face has fractional losses along the upper edge, which also has some light creases near the right corner. The book itself is in very good condition overall. The cloth is faded and a bit shelfworn, particularly the fade-prone spine. There is a hint of dampstaining to the cloth and some red staining to the lower fore-edge from this. The binding, however, is tight. The contents are fine and unfoxed.A book rarely seen jacketed and signed, with a fascinating provenance, no less. 8vo (320 pages, illustrated with cartoon reproductions and a photo frontis) (Cohen A95.2) (Woods A39b).
