EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this print of an elderly lady, taken in March 1895 at Thompsons Hospital in Petworth. Preserved within the Walter Kevis Collection and housed at the West Sussex Record Office, this image exudes a sense of nostalgia and offers a glimpse into Victorian life. Dressed elegantly in a stunning Victorian costume, the subject of this photograph embodies the grace and refinement that characterized the era's fashion. Her attire showcases intricate details and layers, reflecting both her social status and adherence to societal norms. The delicate lace collar frames her face, drawing attention to her wise eyes that have witnessed decades of change. As we gaze upon this remarkable portrait, we are transported to a bygone era where simplicity met sophistication. The sepia tones add depth to every crease on her weathered skin, telling stories untold. It is as if time stands still for just a moment; we can almost hear whispers from another century. This print not only captures an individual but also serves as a window into history itself - reminding us of our roots and how far we have come. Let it transport you back to an age when manners were paramount, corsets were laced tightly, and society was governed by strict codes. Appreciate this treasure from West Sussex County Council's collection for its historical significance rather than any commercial use it may hold – allowing yourself to be captivated by its beauty while honoring those who came before us.
