EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the enigmatic and charismatic figure of Margot Asquith, Emma Alice Margaret Tennant, the second wife of Her Majesty's Most Honourable Privy Counsellor, H.H. Asquith. Married in 1894, Margot, born in 1864, was a celebrated beauty and socialite, known for her wit, intelligence, and style. In this image, she is depicted wearing an elegant necklace, its delicate chains and intricate design adding an air of sophistication and allure to her already captivating presence. Margot's marriage to Asquith, who served as the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1908 to 1916, was a significant event in British political and social history. Their union was marked by a deep and passionate love, but also by scandal and controversy. Margot's flamboyant lifestyle and extravagant spending were the subject of much gossip and criticism, and her relationship with the poet W.B. Yeats further fueled the rumors. Despite the challenges, Margot remained a devoted and supportive wife, and her influence on Asquith's political career was significant. She was known to have a keen understanding of politics and was a shrewd political operator in her own right. After Asquith's resignation in 1916, Margot continued to be a prominent figure in British society until her death in 1945. This photograph, taken likely in the early 20th century, offers a glimpse into the life of a remarkable woman who defied convention and left an indelible mark on British history. With her striking beauty, intelligence, and charisma, Margot Asquith remains an intriguing and fascinating figure, whose story continues to captivate and inspire.
