EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in history when British Conservative politician and Prime Minister, Neville Chamberlain, was awarded an honorary Litt.D. at Reading University in June 1938. In the image, Chamberlain is seen exploring the university grounds alongside RH Stoughton, Professor of Horticulture, and Sir Samuel Hoare (later Viscount Templewood), Chancellor of Reading University.
Dressed impeccably in top hat, tails, pinstripes, wing collar, gloves, and holding an umbrella on a sunny day with dappled light shining through the vines growing around them; this snapshot exudes elegance and sophistication. Chamberlain's keen interest in examining grapes growing on campus showcases his curiosity and appreciation for nature.
The camaraderie between these distinguished gentlemen is palpable as they engage in conversation amidst the picturesque surroundings. This image not only captures a significant moment in Chamberlain's career but also provides a glimpse into the social dynamics of that era.
As we reflect on this historical photograph, we are reminded of the importance of education and recognition within academic institutions. It serves as a reminder of the legacy left behind by influential figures like Chamberlain who have made lasting contributions to society.
