EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in the St Aubyn family's history - the christening of their beloved infant son. The ceremony took place at the elegant St James church in Paddington on 6th April 1925, an event that undoubtedly brought joy and celebration to all present. In this beautifully composed image, we see Mr and Mrs St Aubyn standing proudly alongside their nurse and baby, as well as their other children Jessica, John, and Charles Rowan Piers. Each member of this distinguished family exudes elegance with their fashionable attire from the roaring twenties. The photograph not only showcases the fashion trends of its time but also offers a glimpse into society's norms during this era. The presence of a nurse or nanny dressed in uniform highlights the importance placed on childcare within affluent families like the St Aubyns. With hats adorning both adults and children alike, it is evident that style was paramount even for these young ones. The boys' dapper outfits complemented by charming headwear add an adorable touch to this already delightful scene. Alfieri's expert eye has captured not just a simple family portrait but an exquisite snapshot frozen in time. This photograph serves as a testament to love, tradition, and societal customs prevalent during one of Europe's most iconic decades - the fabulous twenties.
