EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures Miss C. Bradhurst, the first prize winner of The Sketch magazine's fancy dress competition held in 1898. Miss Bradhurst's innovative and bizarre costume portrays the mythological figure of Daphne from Greek mythology. Daphne, a nymph beloved by the god Apollo, was famously saved from his unwanted advances when she was transformed into a laurel tree. Miss Bradhurst's costume faithfully recreates the essence of Daphne's metamorphosis. Adorned with intricately woven leaves and branches, she blends seamlessly into the lush greenery surrounding her. The delicate tendrils of the laurel bush cascade down her figure, creating a striking contrast against her elegant white gown. Her face, framed by a wreath of leaves, is a vision of serene beauty. The originality of Miss Bradhurst's idea is evident in the unusual and strange costume. Her interpretation of Daphne's transformation into a tree is both captivating and whimsical, transporting us to a world of mythological enchantment. This photograph, published in The Sketch magazine, showcases the creative spirit of the time and the enduring allure of Greek mythology.
