EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph captures a significant moment in history - the arrival of Sir Alfred Milner, now Lord Milner, at Waterloo on 24 May. The image depicts a grand scene as the Prime Minister warmly welcomes Milner, who is being hailed as both Premier and Pro-Consul. The composition beautifully portrays the bustling atmosphere of the railway station, with trains and passengers in motion. The attention to detail is evident in every stroke of Samuel Begg's skilled hand. From the intricate architecture of Waterloo station to the distinguished figures present, this print transports us back to an era filled with political intrigue. The significance of this event cannot be overstated; it symbolizes power dynamics within London's political landscape during that time. As we gaze upon this historic moment frozen in time, we witness not only the arrival of a prominent figure but also observe other notable politicians such as Lord Salisbury and Lord Roberts among those gathered. This lithograph was originally published in The Illustrated London News on 1 June 1901, offering readers a glimpse into an important chapter in British history.
