EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting photograph captures a moment of leisure and camaraderie among the residents of the Girls Friendly Society (GFS) Lodge in Ealing, Middlesex, West London, in the year 1913. The Girls Friendly Society was an organization dedicated to the welfare and education of girls and young women, with a particular focus on providing them with opportunities for social and moral development. In this image, a group of women, dressed in their finest hats and summer dresses, gather in the lush garden of the Lodge, their laughter and joy evident as they engage in a friendly game of croquet. The serene setting is further enhanced by the beautiful floral arrangements and the sun-dappled shade provided by the trees. Among the ladies seated in the foreground is Gertrude Marye Barnard, the founder of the Ealing branch of the GFS. Her vision and dedication to the cause are evident in the thriving community that has formed around the Lodge. The croquet set, a symbol of recreation and relaxation, underscores the importance of balance and enjoyment in the lives of these women. The Girls Friendly Society Lodge at Ealing offered a safe and nurturing environment for girls and young women, providing them with essential skills and support as they navigated the challenges of growing up. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the enduring power of community, friendship, and the simple pleasures of a sunny afternoon in the garden.
