EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative Edwardian photograph, three middle-aged sisters mournfully sit in the tranquil garden of a Pembrokeshire house, paying tribute to the recently deceased King Edward VII. The sisters, dressed in somber black attire, convey a sense of solemnity and respect, their faces reflecting the sadness and loss felt by the nation. The eldest sister, seated on the left, wears an elaborate hat adorned with studs and a white veil, suggesting she may be a visitor to the house. Her hat, a fashionable accessory of the time, adds an air of gothic elegance to the scene. The other two sisters, both bare-headed, are likely residents of the house, their plain black dresses and simple hairstyles reflecting the austere mourning style of the era. The sisters sit on a deck chair, surrounded by the lush greenery of the garden, with a door way and iron gate visible in the background. A small dog lies at their feet, adding a touch of warmth and companionship to the scene. The garden, with its creeping ivy and creeper covered walls, exudes an old-world charm, transporting us back to the historical period of 1910. The sisters' age and class are evident in their attire and demeanor, reflecting the societal norms of the time. The photograph, taken in the aftermath of King Edward VII's death in 1910, is a poignant reminder of the deep sense of mourning and loss felt by the British people during this period. This image, with its rich historical context and intriguing details, offers a glimpse into the past and invites us to reflect on the human experience of grief and loss.
