“Taken at Chartwell” (BRDW 1/2/98)

Photograph of WSC fishing [at the mill at the Chateau St-Georges-Motel in Dreux, France, home of Jacques Balsan and Consuelo Balsan (earlier Consuelo, Duchess of Marlborough), photograph taken by Paul Maze]. He is standing in profile, with his free hand resting on a large wooden beam, which runs along the top of some wooden rails, and is holding his fishing rod in the other hand. He is wearing a light-coloured siren-type suit, and a floppy white hat, with a cigar in his mouth, and is looking down into the water. In the background are [?] some sluice gates to one side, and standing water on the other side.
