EDITORS COMMENTS
In this black-and-white photograph, Arthur James Balfour, the Conservative MP and former British Prime Minister, is seen leaving his London residence for Biarritz, France, likely for a health cure in the year 1909. Dressed in a heavy overcoat and hat, Balfour exudes an air of authority and determination as he takes his leave, with his housekeeper standing deferentially to the side, her hands folded in front of her, her eyes fixed on her employer with a look of respect and subservience. The image captures the class divide of the time, with the politician, clad in fine clothing and accessories, and the domestic servant, dressed in simple attire, performing her duty with quiet dignity. The railings of the house's entrance provide a sense of enclosure and exclusivity, while the empty street outside underscores the privacy and seclusion of Balfour's departure. The photograph offers a historical glimpse into the lives of the political and domestic elite of the early 20th century, and the deference shown by the servant to her employer highlights the social hierarchy of the time. The image is a poignant reminder of the role of the servant class in maintaining the daily lives of the wealthy and powerful, and the enduring power dynamics that continue to shape our society today.
