EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage lantern slide depicts Reginald McKenna, a prominent figure during World War I as a member of the British Coalition War Cabinet. Dressed in the formal attire of the era, McKenna exudes an air of authority and seriousness, reflecting the gravity of the historical moment. The image captures him in a three-quarter view, with his right hand resting on a table and his left hand holding a document, conveying a sense of deep concentration and commitment to the war effort. Reginald McKenna (1863-1943) was a British politician who served as President of the Board of Trade and Chancellor of the Exchequer in the Asquith Liberal government before joining the Coalition War Cabinet in 1915. His tenure in the Coalition saw him overseeing the nationalization of key industries, including the railways and coal mines, to ensure their effective operation during the war. McKenna's leadership and strategic decisions played a significant role in the British war effort, making him an essential figure in the country's history. The photograph, taken during the Edwardian or early Victorian period, is part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online.
