About This Item
From Margaret Thatcher's estate Margaret Thatcher's own copy of the official cabinet photograph taken January 1985, signed by herself and every other member of the cabinet. The photograph was kept by Thatcher until her death in 2013, and here appears on the market for the first time after acquisition directly from her estate. 1985 was a strong year for Thatcher, with her authority barely contestable; the miners' strike was finally defeated in March, and the Anglo-Irish Agreement was signed in November. The photograph consequently offers a snapshot of Thatcher at her apogee, with a cabinet in her own image, near-unanimously loyal and united, with the few remaining dissenters doing little to undermine her position. Colour photograph with white mount, printed at head. Presented in a black wooden frame with conservation acrylic glazing. Image size: 30 x 38 cm, frame size 48 x 56 cm. Posthumous Margaret Thatcher printed library label pasted on reverse. Frame a little scuffed, small patch of dust inbetween glazing and Willie Whitelaw's shoulder. In very good condition.
