EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, taken in 1939, British Secretary of State for War Leslie Hore-Belisha (1893-1957) is seen attending a banquet of the Franco-British Association in the elegant surroundings of Paris. Accompanying Hore-Belisha are a number of prominent figures in diplomacy and politics. To his right, the Marquis de Vogue, a French aristocrat and prominent figure in French society, engages in conversation. Across from Hore-Belisha sits Sir Eric Phipps (1875-1945), the British Ambassador to France, and his wife, Lady Phipps. M. Bonnet, a French diplomat, is also present at the table. The Franco-British Association was an organization established in 1904 to promote closer ties between the two nations. With the looming threat of war in Europe, diplomatic relations between France and Britain were of paramount importance. This banquet, held in the vibrant and culturally rich city of Paris, provided an opportunity for these key figures to discuss matters of mutual concern and strengthen the bonds between their countries. The 1930s, also known as the "thirties," was a decade marked by political instability and international tension. The rise of fascist regimes in Europe, led by figures such as Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini, threatened the peace and security of the continent. Amidst this volatile political landscape, the Franco-British Association played a crucial role in fostering diplomatic relations and maintaining the alliance between France and Britain. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the diplomatic world of the late 1930s, with its elegant settings, formal attire, and distinguished guests. It serves as a reminder of the importance of diplomacy in times of crisis and the role that organizations like the Franco-British Association played in shaping the course of history.
