In this photo print, we are transported back to the 1930s when the Duchess of York, also known as The Suchess, paid a visit to schools in Chailey. Her royal presence brought joy and excitement among the students, especially those who were physically challenged. During her visit, The Duchess was presented with a special gift for her beloved Princesses - a doll meticulously crafted by the talented children at the Heritage Craft Schools. What makes this doll truly unique is its exquisite dress made from wool sourced from Angora rabbits kept at the school itself. As captured in this timeless image, The Duchess can be seen tenderly petting one of these fluffy Angora rabbits. Her genuine affection for animals shines through as she connects with nature's beauty and innocence. This photograph not only encapsulates a moment of warmth and compassion but also symbolizes the importance of education and inclusivity. It serves as a reminder that even amidst societal challenges between two world wars, acts of kindness and creativity prevail. Preserved by TopFoto. co. uk, this monochrome gem offers us an intimate glimpse into history - an era where press photography played a crucial role in documenting significant events. Let us cherish this snapshot from Europeana Photography as it captures both royal grace and heartfelt gestures towards disabled children during their educational journey at Chailey schools on that memorable day: June 10th, 1936.
