This silk is almost identical to sb1205, the only difference being the flowers below Churchill's portrait

Lord Randolph Churchill (1849-1895) was the father of Sir Winston Churchill. He was elected to Parliament in 1874 as Conservative member for Woodstock, and rose to the position of Leader of the House of Commons in 1886.
