EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in Sheffield's political history - the Attercliffe By-election of 1909. The image showcases an impressive election poster, proudly displaying Joseph Pointer as the Labour Party candidate. A massive public meeting is taking place, with a sea of eager faces gathered to support their chosen representative. Joseph Pointer, a prominent figure in the Labour Party, was elected as Sheffield's first-ever Labour Member of Parliament through this by-election. His tenure lasted until his untimely death in 1914, leaving behind a legacy that would shape the city's political landscape for years to come. The photograph also reveals another influential speaker at this event - Ramsey McDonald. As one of the key figures within the Labour Party during this era, McDonald's presence adds significance and excitement to an already charged atmosphere. Competing against Pointer were formidable opponents: S. King-Farlow representing the Conservative party, Richard Lambert from the Liberal party, and A Muir-Wilson standing as an Independent Tariff Reform candidate. Preserved at Sheffield Local Studies Library MP 105 L, this historical artifact serves as a reminder of how politics has evolved over time and highlights the importance of grassroots movements like those led by Joseph Pointer and his fellow candidates.
