Covers Kitchener Leaders Magazines Tatler Unemployed
EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking cover of The Tatler magazine from 1910 features a thought-provoking portrait of Lord Kitchener, the renowned British military leader and statesman, who found himself in an unexpected position - unemployment. The image captures Lord Kitchener in a contemplative mood, his stern expression softened by the wrinkles of concern etched on his face. The caption below reads, "Lord Kitchener Unemployed," a bold statement that defied the conventional expectations of the time. Lord Kitchener, known for his military prowess and leadership during the Sudan Campaign and the Second Boer War, had been Secretary of State for the Colonies since 1903. However, in 1910, he was dismissed from his position by King George V, leaving him without a role in the government. The Tatler's cover, with its provocative title and powerful imagery, served to highlight the unusual situation of a man of such stature and accomplishment being out of work. The cover of The Tatler, a weekly society and fashion magazine, was known for its wit and satire, and this image of Lord Kitchener was no exception. The use of a portrait format and the bold typography added to the impact of the image, making it a standout cover that continues to intrigue and captivate viewers even a century later. This historical artifact offers a unique glimpse into the political landscape of the early 20th century, showcasing the unexpected twists and turns that can come with public life.
