November 4, 1905: A Historic Moment in British Political History Commemorated in this Illustrated Daily Postcard This postcard image transports us back in time to a significant event in British political history. The date is November 4, 1905, and the location is The Strand in London, where a momentous occasion was unfolding. The focus of our attention is the newly unveiled bronze statue of William Ewart Gladstone, a British statesman and four-time Prime Minister, who is regarded as one of the most influential figures in the history of the United Kingdom. The statue, the work of renowned sculptor Hamo Thornycroft RA, stands proudly adjacent to George Edmund Street's Law Courts. The unveiling ceremony was presided over by none other than Mr. John Morley, 1st Viscount Morley of Blackburn. Morley, a close friend and political ally of Gladstone, played a pivotal role in the Labour Party's early development. Gladstone's political career spanned over five decades, and his tenure as Prime Minister saw the implementation of several significant reforms, including the Reform Act of 1867, which expanded the electorate and paved the way for universal suffrage. This postcard, with its intricate details and evocative imagery, offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the historical significance of this event and the enduring legacy of William Ewart Gladstone.
