Blank greetings card with envelope featuring:

John Elliott Burns NPG 2826

© National Portrait Gallery, London

by Sir Francis Carruthers Gould ('F.C.G.')

Inscribed, 'His activity is phenomenal', Gould's caricature shows Burns in 1908 when he was President of the Local Government Board, a post he held in successive Liberal administrations from 1905 to 1914. In this office, Burns succeeded in passing the Town Planning Act of 1909 but was bitterly unpopular with his former Socialist allies for resisting reforms in the Poor Law.
