EDITORS COMMENTS
In this late Victorian portrait, we find Mr. Whittington, a young man of Kirdford, Sussex, posing confidently for a photograph taken by the esteemed Avenell studio of Brighton around the turn of the century. The year is estimated to be between 1876 and 1908, based on the timeframe of Avenell's operation. Mr. Whittington's sharp attire and serious expression convey a sense of maturity and sophistication beyond his years. He wears a well-tailored suit, complete with a crisp white shirt, neatly tied cravat, and a dapper bowler hat resting on a table beside him. His dark hair is neatly combed, and his piercing gaze seems to penetrate the very soul of the viewer. This photograph is part of the Walter Kevis Collection, housed at the West Sussex Record Office, and carries the reference number Kevis 1/W376A. The provenance of the collection is not explicitly stated, but it is clear that this image has been carefully preserved and cherished for generations. The portrait offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the lives of the people of Kirdford during the late Victorian and Edwardian eras. It is a poignant reminder of the importance of preserving our heritage and the stories that lie within our family histories. Mr. Whittington's portrait is a testament to the skill and artistry of the Avenell studio, which was renowned for its ability to capture the essence of its subjects. This photograph is not only a beautiful work of art but also a precious piece of social history, offering a glimpse into the lives of our ancestors and the world they inhabited.
