Lloyd George, the Welsh statesman who served as British prime minister from 1916 to 1922, appears here with his wife, Margaret, according to the caption attached to the negative. The record gives no date, and the title is unverified, so the identification rests on the original caption. Lloyd George led Britain through much of the First World War and the peace settlement that followed, which made him a frequent subject for news photographers. The Bain News Service, a New York agency that sold pictures to newspapers, produced glass negatives like this one for that market, so the image reflects the demand for portraits of public figures and their families in the early twentieth century.
