EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming photograph captures the essence of a leisurely afternoon in the 1930s, as three elegant women enjoy the sunshine in a lush garden setting. The sisters, all in their middle age, sit comfortably in striped deckchairs, dressed in fashionable yet practical summer attire. One of them cradles a small Pekingese dog on her lap, its sleek coat a striking contrast against her floral dress. The tranquility of the scene is further emphasized by the lush green grass and the peaceful expression on the faces of the women. The Pekingese, also known as a Peke or Peke-a-boo, was a popular lapdog breed during this era. Known for its distinctive appearance and affectionate nature, the breed was a favorite among the upper classes. The presence of the dog adds a playful and endearing touch to the image, making it a delightful snapshot of a bygone era. The sisters' relaxed and contented expressions suggest a close bond between them, as they take a break from their daily routine to bask in the simple pleasures of nature and each other's company. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the importance of family, sisterhood, and the simple joys of life, making it a cherished piece of historical imagery.
