EDITORS COMMENTS
Prime Minister Herbert Henry Asquith and his wife, Margot Asquith, attend a solemn memorial service for the late Viscount Long in 1924. This poignant photograph captures the couple's dignified presence as they pay their respects to a prominent political figure of their time. Herbert Henry Asquith, who served as Prime Minister from 1908 to 1916, was known for his significant contributions to British politics. Prior to his premiership, he had also held the position of Chancellor of the Exchequer under Campbell Bannerman. His innovative reforms included introducing a new system of income tax rates and implementing old-age pensions. In this image, Mr. Asquith is seen wearing a distinguished suit beneath his coat, exuding an air of authority and statesmanship. Meanwhile, Mrs. Asquith stands beside him in an elegant muff dress and hat that reflect her impeccable sense of fashion. The year is October 1924 – a period marked by political transition and change within Britain's liberal circles. The somber occasion serves as a reminder not only of Viscount Long's legacy but also highlights the enduring commitment Mr. and Mrs. Asquith have towards honoring those who have made significant contributions to public life. This print from Memory Lane Prints offers us a glimpse into both personal style choices and political history during this pivotal era.
