EDITORS COMMENTS
This sepia-toned photograph captures the vibrant energy and camaraderie of a Slade School picnic in 1899. The image showcases a group portrait of teachers, students, and renowned artists from the prestigious fine art school. Among them are Miss Gwen John, Mr. Fine Art School himself, and Miss Edna Waugh, all captured in this momentous day trip. The scene is filled with delightful activities that epitomize Victorian leisure pursuits. A horse-drawn cart stands at the center, adorned with lively individuals enjoying their outing to the fullest. Some opt for horseback riding while others engage in animated conversations or simply revel in each other's company. Lady Clarke Hall and Lady Rothenstein grace the frame alongside painters like Augustus John, Sir William Rothenstein, Albert Rutherston, and Sir William Orpen - all esteemed figures who would leave an indelible mark on British art history. This photograph not only immortalizes a joyous occasion but also highlights sport as an integral part of these artists' lives. Horse riding emerges as both a passion and pastime for these talented men and women who effortlessly blend their artistic prowess with sporting endeavors. Preserved within this print is a testament to friendship, creativity, and shared experiences that transcend time itself. It serves as a poignant reminder of how even great minds find solace in simple pleasures amidst their pursuit of artistic excellence.
