Epstein was photographed on this day, December 10, in 1955. In the UK for a few days, Yousuf Karsh photographed Winston Churchill receiving the Colonial Williamsburg Award on December 7; foreign secretary Harold Macmillan on the 8th; historian Arnold Toynbee of the Royal Institute of International Affairs on the 11th, and R.
