EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph offers a glimpse into a Children's Jewel Fund Sale held at Sutherland House during the tumultuous year of 1918, towards the end of the First World War. The Children's Jewel Fund was a charitable organization dedicated to raising funds for infant welfare centres across the country. The sale, which was a popular event among the upper classes, showcases an array of dolls on display, each one unique and intriguing in its own right. Among the notable exhibits in this photograph are a Chu Chin Chow tableau, graciously donated by the renowned actress, Miss Lily Brayton (Mrs Oscar Asche), who was a leading star in the popular theatrical show, Chu Chin Chow. The tableau, featuring an elaborate scene from the production, would have undoubtedly attracted much attention and excitement from the attendees. Another fascinating exhibit is the Air Force dolls, complete with scale aeroplane and airship models. These dolls were kindly donated by Lady Drogheda, who was affectionately known as the 'Flying Countess'. Lady Drogheda's connection to the Air Force was significant, as her husband, Sir Frederick Shenstone, was a prominent figure in the Royal Flying Corps during the war. The sale at Sutherland House was an excellent example of the charitable efforts and community spirit that flourished during this period, as people from all walks of life came together to support a worthy cause. The dolls, each with their own story, serve as a poignant reminder of the resilience and determination of the people during the First World War, and the importance of coming together to help those in need.
