EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the leaders of the British Dominions during the first 25 years of King George V's reign, from 1910 to 1935. Seated around a table, the prime ministers of South Africa (J.B.M. Hertzog), Australia (Joseph Lyons), New Zealand (Michael Joseph Savage, represented here by W.F. Massey), Canada (Richard Bedford Bennett), and Northern Ireland (James Craig, represented here by Sir Basil Brooke), along with Jan Smuts of South Africa and William Morris Hughes of Australia, gathered to discuss matters of imperial importance. The image, taken in 1935, reflects the complex web of colonialism and imperial relations that defined the British Empire during the 1930s. The leaders, dressed in formal attire, exude a sense of authority and determination, embodying the colonial administrators who shaped the political landscape of their respective countries. The photograph offers a glimpse into the inner workings of the British Empire during a pivotal moment in history, as the world prepared for the challenges of the approaching Second World War.
