EDITORS COMMENTS
Anthony Asquith: A Boy and His Toy Plane at 10 Downing Street This enchanting photograph captures a young Anthony Asquith, future film director, at the iconic 10 Downing Street in Central London during the early 1910s. At the time, his father, Herbert Henry Asquith, served as the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. The historical significance of the setting is further emphasized by the ivy-covered walls and the uniformed policeman standing guard. In this moment, the future filmmaker, known for his leading contributions to the industry between the late 1920s and mid 1960s, is seen as a curious and adventurous boy. His curly hair and excited expression radiate youthful energy. In his hand, he holds a toy model aeroplane, a reflection of his passion for games and aviation. However, the joy of playtime is momentarily disrupted when the toy plane flies beyond the garden wall. Witnessing this, a helpful policeman, embodying the deference and respect for the Prime Minister's family, returns the toy plane over the gate, ensuring Anthony's happiness is restored. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing a young Anthony Asquith's childhood innocence and the historical context of his upbringing. The image stands as a testament to the importance of play, the kindness of strangers, and the unique bond between a father and his son.
