EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a significant moment in the history of cultural patronage and royal communication. In the year 1962, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, the reigning monarch of the United Kingdom, extends her gratitude to the Earl of Bessborough, a distinguished patron of the arts, for his unwavering support of the Chichester Festival. The festival, held in the picturesque town of Chichester, Sussex, was renowned for its high-caliber productions in theatre, music, and the visual arts. The Earl of Bessborough, whose real name was Edward Henry FitzGerald, 15th Duke of Leinster and 12th Duke of Kildare, was a generous benefactor to the festival, providing essential financial assistance and promoting its growth. In this image, we see the Queen, seated at her desk in the elegant surroundings of Buckingham Palace, carefully composing a telegram to express her appreciation for his efforts. The telegram, a symbol of formal communication in the early 1960s, would have been sent via the telegraph system, which, at the time, was the most efficient means of long-distance communication. The photograph not only showcases the Queen's personal involvement in the cultural scene but also highlights the importance of patronage in fostering artistic endeavors. The image is a testament to the enduring relationship between the monarchy, the arts, and the community, as well as the role of effective communication in strengthening these connections.
