Autographed photograph of Harold Macmillan and his wife, Lady Dorothy Macmillan outside 10 Downing Street, October 1957. Following Eden's resignation on 9 January 1957, Macmillan was appointed Prime Minister the following day. Despite speculation that his Government would fall within months, Macmillan successfully revived the Conservatives' standing in the aftermath of the Suez debacle and remained in office until October 1963 when he resigned due to ill health.
