1852 Asquith Caps Gowns Haldane Herbert University 1928
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic photograph, two prominent figures of British politics, Herbet Henry Asquith and Lord Haldane, are seen wearing their University caps and gowns. The image dates back to the late 19th or early 20th century, between the years 1852 and 1928. Herbert Henry Asquith (1852-1928) was a British Liberal politician who served as the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1908 to 1916. He is best known for leading the country during World War I and implementing several social reforms, including the Old Age Pensions Act and the National Insurance Act. Andrew Bonar Law, 1st Viscount Haldane of Gleneagles, KT, PC, FRS (1856-1928), was a Scottish lawyer and Liberal politician who served as the Secretary of State for War and the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs in Asquith's government. He is also known for his significant contributions to the field of law, particularly in the areas of criminal law and tort law. The photograph captures the two men in a scholarly setting, likely at a University event or graduation ceremony. Both men are dressed in the traditional academic attire, with Asquith wearing a red cap and gown, indicating that he is a doctorate degree holder, and Haldane wearing a black cap and gown, signifying that he holds a master's degree. This image is a testament to the intellectual and political prowess of these two influential figures, who played crucial roles in shaping the political landscape of Britain during a pivotal period in its history. The photograph provides a glimpse into the past, offering a fascinating insight into the lives of these two remarkable men.
