January 1, 1970

Churchill writes in My Early Life that this photograph was taken when he was living in Ireland when his grandfather was Viceroy of Ireland. If so, it must have been taken before February 1880 when he was just five years old. Other sources place it slightly later, when he was seven, but it is definitely pre-school.
