EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in British history - the formation of a National Cabinet as requested by King George V. The image showcases an esteemed group of politicians gathered in the garden at No 10 Downing Street in 1931. At the forefront stands Ramsay MacDonald, the first ever Labour Prime Minister, who had also served as PM from 1929 to 1935. Alongside him are other prominent figures such as James Henry Thomas, Rufus Isaacs (1st Marquess of Reading), Stanley Baldwin, and Philip Snowden (1st Viscount Snowden). Perched on the steps are Herbert Samuel, Neville Chamberlain, Samuel Hoare, and John Sankey - all influential Conservative or Labour politicians of their time. This gathering marked a significant turning point for MacDonald's political career; his decision to form a National Government with Conservatives and Liberals was seen by many within his own party as an act of treachery. The photograph not only captures this historic event but also provides insight into the political landscape of that era. It serves as a reminder that even amidst crisis and controversy, leaders must come together for the greater good of their nation. This image is part of The Stapleton Collection and is now housed in a private collection after being captured by an English photographer during the early 20th century.
