EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the summer of 1917 at Maidenhead, Buckinghamshire, a popular destination for fashionable society during the first half of the 20th century. In this charming impression by Annie Fish, titled "Maidenhead, Buckinghamshire in August," we find Eve, the renowned gossip columnist from Tatler, and her companion Adam, enjoying a leisurely day on a tennis court. The picturesque setting, overlooking the River Thames, is the perfect backdrop for their holiday. The allure of Maidenhead during this era was not only due to its scenic beauty but also because of its proximity to the residences of the elite. Eve, ever the astute observer, suspects that Adam has chosen this particular house for its proximity to Flossie Highkick's residence at the Gaiety Theatre. The mischievous smile on her face suggests that she is already penning down the juicy details for her next column. As the sun casts a warm glow over the tennis court, Eve and Adam take a break from the hustle and bustle of their social lives, engaging in a friendly game of tennis. The upper class, with their elegant attire and refined manners, epitomize the essence of summer holidays in Maidenhead. This humorous and humble snapshot of history transports us back to a time when the upper class sought solace from the pressures of society in the tranquil surroundings of Maidenhead. Join Eve and Adam as they unwind, basking in the sun and the gossip, in this delightful scene captured by the talented Annie Fish.
