About this artwork
Moberg’s photograph shows Jo and Laura Grimond outside their home, the Old Manse of Firth, near Kirkwall. While Lord Grimond was the more prominent of the couple, Lady Laura, a member of the Asquith dynasty, was also very active in Liberal politics. She was President of the Women’s Liberal Federation and fought (unsuccessfully) the seat of West Aberdeenshire for her party.
