Margaret Thatcher with Geoffrey Howe greeting Mikhail and Raisa Gorbachev at RAF Brize Norton - December 1987
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a momentous encounter between influential political figures of the 20th century. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness the meeting of two powerful leaders from opposite sides of the Cold War divide. The image showcases former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and her trusted ally, Geoffrey Howe, extending warm greetings to Soviet Union's General Secretary Mikhail Gorbachev and his wife Raisa. Taken at RAF Brize Norton in December 1987, this historic occasion marked an important milestone in international relations during the conservative era. Thatcher's firm stance as a Tory politician is palpable as she engages with Gorbachev, known for his progressive policies that would eventually reshape the Soviet Union. The photograph encapsulates both tension and hope for improved diplomatic ties between East and West. John Downing/Staff skillfully captured this significant moment on film, immortalizing it through Memory Lane Prints. As viewers gaze upon this remarkable piece of political history, they are transported back to an era defined by ideological differences but also characterized by glimpses of unity amidst global challenges. This print serves as a reminder that even amidst turbulent times, politicians have the power to bridge divides and foster dialogue for a more peaceful world.
