EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the 1950s, we see Philip Kinghorn Burbridge alongside Mr Austen Brooks, both members of The League of Empire Loyalists. Standing tall and proud, their expressions exude determination and conviction. Mr Burbridge's notoriety stems from an incident that occurred on the 7th of August in 1957 when he boldly slapped Lord Altrincham, a vocal critic of Queen Elizabeth II. This image captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing the intense political climate of post-war Britain. As part of a far-right pressure group known as The League of Empire Loyalists (LEL), these individuals were staunch defenders of British imperialism and held conservative views aligned with right-wing politics. The photograph serves as a reminder that even during times marked by social change and shifting ideologies, there were those who fiercely clung to traditional values associated with the British Empire. It offers insight into the complex dynamics at play within society during this era. Warner's expertly preserved print allows us to delve into history and explore different perspectives without endorsing or promoting any commercial use. Instead, it invites contemplation about how political movements can shape nations while simultaneously challenging our own beliefs about loyalty and progress.
