EDITORS COMMENTS
Leo Abse, MP for the Pontypool division of Monmouthshire, is captured in this iconic print taken on October 18th, 1976. The image showcases Abse seated at his desk in his study within his St Johns Wood residence in London. A prominent figure during the 20th century, Leo Abse was not only a dedicated campaigner but also an esteemed lawyer and member of parliament representing Wales. Known for his unwavering commitment to social justice and equality, Abse played a pivotal role in advocating for gay rights within the Labour Party. His efforts were instrumental in shaping legislation that ultimately decriminalized homosexuality in England and Wales. In this snapshot frozen in time, we see Abse engrossed amidst papers and books scattered across his desk—a testament to his tireless work as a politician and lawmaker. With a pipe resting between his fingers, smoke gently wafts through the air—an emblematic symbol of an era when smoking was still commonplace. Peter Trievnor's masterful photography captures both the essence of Leo Abse's dedication to public service and provides us with an intimate glimpse into the private world of one of Britain's most influential politicians.
