Description
Although from the north of England, Asquith represented the constituents of East Fife in the House of Commons for over thirty years. Chancellor of the Exchequer in Campbell-Bannerman’s 1905 government, Asquith became Prime Minister three years later. He brought Winston Churchill and Lloyd George into his government and in foreign policy saw the necessity of standing by France against German expansion in Europe. The result led to the First World War with Asquith as Prime Minister until Lloyd George replaced him in 1916. This oil sketch was made by Guthrie in preparation for his great commission ‘Statesmen of the Great War’.

Licensing edit

This is a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional, public domain work of art. The work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer.

You must also include a United States public domain tag to indicate why this work is in the public domain in the United States. Note that a few countries have copyright terms longer than 70 years: Mexico has 100 years, Jamaica has 95 years, Colombia has 80 years, and Guatemala and Samoa have 75 years. This image may not be in the public domain in these countries, which moreover do not implement the rule of the shorter term. Honduras has a general copyright term of 75 years, but it does implement the rule of the shorter term. Copyright may extend on works created by French who died for France in World War II (more information), Russians who served in the Eastern Front of World War II (known as the Great Patriotic War in Russia) and posthumously rehabilitated victims of Soviet repressions (more information).
