EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures the moment of homecoming for Herbert Gladstone and his wife Dorothy Mary (nee Paget) as they return to the United Kingdom from South Africa in 1914. Herbert, a prominent Liberal politician and the eldest son of former British Prime Minister William Ewart Gladstone, had served as the First Governor-General of the Union of South Africa since May 1910. The couple's return marked the end of a significant chapter in their lives, having spent the past three and a half years in South Africa. The image shows them stepping off the train at a bustling railway platform, surrounded by a crowd of well-wishers and members of the press. Dorothy Mary, dressed in an elegant hat and coat, holds a bouquet of flowers, while Herbert, with a pleased expression on his face, shakes hands with an unidentified man. The train, a symbol of transportation and progress, underscores the historical significance of the moment. The Gladstones' return came at a time of political change, as the Union of South Africa was transitioning from British colonial rule to self-governance. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the couple's important role in South African history and their contributions to the political landscape of the time. The image also highlights the happiness and joy that the couple felt upon their return to their homeland, as evidenced by their smiling faces and the warm welcome they received from the crowd. The photograph is a testament to the enduring bond between Herbert and Dorothy Mary, as well as their dedication to public service.
