This incarnation of Churchill is the latest in a long - evolving identity which at various times has sustained his power enhanced his popularity and enabled him to personify aspects of British national identity. Indeed Churchill was more aware than most of the performative power of his public life. He lived in an age of the illustrated mass - produced newspaper with its cartoons and Kodak - snappers'. He was well - known for his readiness to appear in uniform for photo opportunities during the Second World War and he not only wrote about the art of political caricature but collected cartoons of himself his allies and opponents.
