EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic group photograph captures the momentous Imperial Conference of 1907, held at the Colonial Office in London on 2 May 1907. The conference marked a significant shift in the political landscape of the British Empire as it was decided to grant self-governing British colonies the status of dominions, effectively ending the use of the term 'colonies.' The image features a gathering of prominent political figures of the time, including from left to right: Sir William Hamilton Holderness, Sir Frederick Jackson Lyne, Sir Charles Robinson, Winston S. Churchill, Sir Francis Hopwood, General Jan Smuts (Johannes Christian Frederik de Wet), Sir Andrew Mackay, Sir Daniel Johnstone, Sir Wilfrid Laurier (Brodeur), Sir Robert Borden, and H.H. Asquith, who was the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom at the time. Also present were Lord Joseph Chamberlain and Lord James Ward. This Edwardian-era photograph, taken in the early 1900s, showcases the diverse group of men, representing various dominions and territories of the British Empire, engaged in intense political discussions that would shape the future of their respective countries and the Empire as a whole. The conference's outcomes, such as the establishment of the Imperial War Conference in 1909, further solidified the dominions' independence and autonomy within the British Empire.
