EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Bert Lemmon, we see Conservative Peter Griffiths standing proudly in front of the iconic HMS Victory in Portsmouth. The year is 1974, and Griffiths is fervently campaigning for the Portsmouth North constituency in the upcoming general election. Dressed impeccably in his conservative attire, Griffiths exudes confidence as he stands against the backdrop of this historic ship. With its rich history intertwined with that of the Royal Navy, HMS Victory serves as a powerful symbol of Britain's naval prowess and resilience. As a politician representing the Tory party, Griffiths seeks to uphold traditional values and promote conservative policies within Hampshire. His presence at such an esteemed location not only highlights his dedication to serving his constituents but also emphasizes his commitment to preserving British heritage. The image evokes a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era - the 1970s - when political campaigns were fought on physical battlegrounds rather than through digital platforms. It reminds us of a time when politicians engaged directly with their communities and sought connection through shared historical landmarks like Lord Nelson's flagship. Bert Lemmon's skillful composition captures both the grandeur of HMS Victory and Peter Griffiths' determination to win over voters. This print serves as a poignant reminder that politics has always been deeply rooted in history, tradition, and personal connections with one's community.
