Duke's of Dorchester in Dorset will be offering for sale in their 12th April auction, a previously unseen photograph of Winston Churchill on a horse following his daring escape from a prison camp during the Boer War. Dated around 1899, it has been consigned for sale by the descendants of Arthur Knight, a trained photographer who was the son of pioneer diamond miner William Knight. It is thought that the photo was taken either by him or his mentor, David Barnett.
