Historical 5x3 card signed "Philip Snowden Viscount" in fountain pen ink. In very good condition. (1864-1937) Philip Snowden, 1st Viscount Snowden was a British politician. A strong speaker, he became popular in trade union circles for his denunciation of capitalism as unethical and his promise of a socialist utopia. He was the first Labour Chancellor of the Exchequer, a position he held in 1924 and again between 1929 and 1931. He broke with Labour policy in 1931 and was expelled from the party and excoriated as a turncoat, as the party was overwhelmingly crushed that year by the National Government coalition that Snowden supported. He was succeeded as Chancellor by Neville Chamberlain.Comes with a full Letter of Authenticity from Todd Mueller Authentics.
