EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment when renowned British author and pacifist Sir Norman Angell (1872-1967), flanked by his close friend and translator Leonard Behrens, share a lighthearted moment with Miss Barbara Hayes on the deck of a ship during their voyage to Canada in 1935. Sir Norman was embarking on a lecture tour across the country, where he intended to discuss pressing foreign affairs and promote his influential ideas on peace and international understanding. The 1930s, a decade marked by political instability and the looming threat of war, were a crucial period for Sir Norman's work. His best-selling book, "The Great Illusion," published in 1911, had argued that war between major European powers was economically unsustainable. This groundbreaking perspective gained him international recognition and earned him the Nobel Peace Prize in 1933. Leonard Behrens, a German-born scholar and translator, played a significant role in bringing Sir Norman's ideas to a wider audience by translating his works into various languages. Together, they sailed towards Canada, their shared commitment to peace and diplomacy evident in their determined expressions and warm camaraderie. Miss Barbara Hayes, a young woman with an enchanting smile, adds an intriguing element to this snapshot of history. Her presence on the ship and her interaction with Sir Norman and Leonard hints at the extensive network of individuals and organizations that supported their mission for peace. This photograph, taken on the deck of a ship en route to Canada in 1935, offers a glimpse into a pivotal moment in history when influential figures like Sir Norman Angell and Leonard Behrens embarked on a journey to spread their message of peace and understanding, ultimately leaving a lasting impact on the world.
