EDITORS COMMENTS
"This evocative photograph captures the moment of historic significance as Sir Edward Grey, Viscount Grey of Fallodon, declares war on Germany in 1914. Grey, a British statesman and politician, served as the Foreign Secretary from 1906 to 1916, and later became Prime Minister from 1916 to 1916. The image, taken in the late summer of 1914, depicts Grey delivering a solemn statement to the House of Commons, signaling the beginning of the First World War. With a grave expression and steady gaze, Grey delivers the news that Britain would be entering the conflict, a decision that would forever change the course of history. The room is filled with the somber atmosphere of the impending war, with members of parliament and onlookers intently listening to Grey's every word. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the weight of responsibility that Grey bore during this pivotal moment in history, and the far-reaching consequences of the decisions made in those fateful days of August 1914." This photograph, taken from the extensive collection of historical images at Mary Evans Prints Online, is an essential addition to any collection focusing on the First World War, British politics, or the history of diplomacy. The image offers a unique glimpse into the past, providing a visual representation of a pivotal moment in history that continues to shape our understanding of the world today.
