EDITORS COMMENTS
Mrs Raymond Asquith, née Katherine Mary Horner (1885-1976), is depicted in this elegant portrait taken in 1915. At the time, she was the wife of Raymond Asquith, the eldest son of Prime Minister Herbert Asquith. Raymond was not only a distinguished intellectual but also a prominent member of The Coterie, a leading group of Edwardian socialites and intellectuals. The portrait captures the refined beauty and poise of Mrs Asquith, who was known for her stylish fashion sense and her involvement in charitable causes. Her husband's political career brought the Asquith family into the limelight of British society, and they were regulars at high-society events. However, the idyllic Edwardian era was soon shattered by the outbreak of World War I. Raymond, an officer in the Royal Fusiliers, was killed in action at the Battle of Flers-Courcelette in September 1916. His death was seen as symbolic of the end of the Edwardian era and the beginning of a new, more somber chapter in British history. Mrs Asquith's tragic loss was deeply felt by the nation, and she became a symbol of grief and resilience in the face of war. Despite her personal sorrow, she continued to support charities and work for the war effort, embodying the spirit of service and sacrifice that characterized the British response to the conflict. This portrait serves as a poignant reminder of the Asquith family's place in Edwardian society and the profound impact of the First World War on British society and its people.
