EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the chaos and turmoil of the First World War, a moment of respite is captured in this enchanting photograph. Eve, the beloved gossip columnist for The Tatler magazine, is pictured reading "The New Book of Eve," an illustrated biography based on her own life, penned by Annie Fish. The scene unfolds in the heart of 1917, with Eve engrossed in the pages of her book, her expression one of intrigue and delight. Joining her in this intimate moment is an officer friend, his uniform adorned with the insignia of his rank. The pair sit beneath a lush bunch of mistletoe, the traditional symbol of love and happiness, hinting at a budding romance. The war may have brought hardships and heartache, but in this fleeting moment, Eve and her officer friend find solace in the power of storytelling and the magic of the holiday season. This photograph, a captivating blend of history and whimsy, offers a glimpse into the lives of those who lived through the tumultuous events of WWI. The image, brought to us by Mary Evans Prints Online, is a poignant reminder of the human spirit's ability to find joy and connection even in the most challenging of times.
