EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a pivotal moment in Welsh history as David Lloyd-George, the charismatic and influential Welsh Liberal statesman, addresses the crowd at the Welsh National Eisteddfod in Birkenhead on the 6th of September 1917. Surrounded by the rich cultural heritage of Wales, Lloyd-George delivered a passionate speech that resonated deeply with the Welsh people, who were eager for recognition and representation in the political sphere. Seated to his right is his wife, Margaret Lloyd-George, dressed in a dark hat, her supportive presence a testament to their strong partnership. To Lloyd-George's left stands Lord Leverhulme, a prominent businessman and philanthropist, who played a significant role in the development of the Eisteddfod as a platform for Welsh arts and culture. The year was 1917, a time of great change and upheaval, with the First World War raging on and the political landscape shifting. Yet, amidst the turmoil, the Welsh National Eisteddfod continued to thrive, providing a sense of unity and pride for the Welsh people. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder of the enduring spirit of Wales and the role that its leaders, such as David Lloyd-George, played in shaping its history. The 1st Earl Lloyd-George of Dwyfor, born in 1863, would go on to serve as Chancellor of the Exchequer and Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, playing a crucial role in the implementation of the People's Budget and the introduction of old-age pensions. He passed away in 1945, leaving behind a rich and complex legacy that continues to be studied and debated by historians and scholars.
