EDITORS COMMENTS
Asquith and Lloyd George, two influential figures in British politics during the early 20th century, are captured in this intriguing photo print. The image portrays a significant moment in history when these politicians were preparing to create 500 additional peers to overcome the opposition of the House of Lords to reform. The context behind this scene dates back to 1910 when the upper house rejected the Peoples Budget of 1909. This rejection prompted the introduction of the Parliament Act of 1911, which aimed to restrict the powers of the non-elected second chamber. As Prime Minister and Chancellor of Exchequer respectively, Herbert Henry Asquith and David Lloyd George played pivotal roles in navigating through this constitutional challenge. Humorously depicted by Leonard Raven-Hill's lithograph, we see Asquith and Lloyd George seemingly engaged in a conversation while surrounded by an array of titles and coronets symbolizing power. The cartoon-like nature adds a touch of light-heartedness to an otherwise serious political issue. This print not only captures a historical moment but also serves as a reminder that even amidst intense political debates and challenges, humor can find its way into shaping our understanding. It invites us to reflect on how politicians navigate complex situations with wit and creativity.
