EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting photograph captures the youthful exuberance of 16-year-old Lucy Auerbach, dressed in an elegant Edwardian-era fancy dress, in her garden at Ealing, West London, in 1906. The young woman, with her bright eyes full of wonder and her radiant smile, holds a British flag aloft, adding an air of patriotic charm to her whimsical attire. Lucy's outfit is adorned with intricate beadwork, bangles, and a beautiful necklace, reminiscent of the gypsy and bohemian styles popular during the early 1900s. Her white dress, with its flowing skirt and delicate veil, is a vision of innocence and grace. The trees in the background provide a serene backdrop to this charming scene, highlighting the beauty of the garden setting. The Union Jack flag, proudly displayed, adds a touch of national pride to the photograph. The use of the flag, along with Lucy's youthful enthusiasm, suggests that this may have been taken on a special occasion, such as a birthday or a national holiday. This image offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of innocence, beauty, and nostalgia. The Patricia Aubrey Collection, from which this photograph is taken, is a treasure trove of historical images that offer a unique insight into the lives and times of people from the past. This photograph of Lucy Auerbach, in her fancy dress and with her British flag, is a delightful reminder of the simple joys and pleasures of youth, and the enduring charm of the Edwardian era.
