EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the somber spirit of the Asquith family during World War One. At the forefront is Herbert Asquith (1881-1947), the second son of the British Prime Minister, Henry Herbert Asquith. Dressed in the uniform of the Royal Artillery, Herbert embodies the patriotic duty and sacrifice that defined the war years. His intense gaze and serious expression reflect the gravity of the times. In the inset, we find a portrait of Herbert's wife, Lady Cynthia Asquith (née Lady Cynthia Charteris), also a distinguished writer. Her image, framed in soft focus, offers a contrast to her husband's military presence. With her gentle smile and elegant attire, she represents the resilience and support of the women left behind during the war. The Asquiths were an influential family in British society, and their experiences during World War One were shaped by their prominent roles. This poignant image serves as a reminder of the personal sacrifices and complexities of the historical period. The photograph, dated 1915, is a poignant testament to the love and dedication of the Asquiths, as well as the larger societal shifts that occurred during the Great War.
