EDITORS COMMENTS
In this elegant portrait, Lady Webster, née Henrietta Crossley, is depicted with her three young children at Battle Abbey in Sussex, England. The abbey, a historic monument and former monastery, holds significant familial and historical connections for Lady Webster and her husband, Sir Augustus Webster. Sir Augustus, a prominent figure in British society, had recently acquired Battle Abbey for the substantial sum of 200,000 pounds. This grand estate, which boasts a rich history dating back to the Norman Conquest, had once been owned by Sir Augustus' ancestors for an impressive 130-year period. Lady Webster, the gracious hostess and proprietor of Battle Abbey, is seen here in the company of her cherished offspring. The family's connection to the abbey adds an air of nobility and heritage to this beautiful image. Dressed in the height of early 20th-century fashion, Lady Webster exudes an aura of refinement and sophistication, while her children, dressed in matching outfits, display the innocence and joy of their youth. The serene surroundings of Battle Abbey's gardens provide the perfect backdrop for this family portrait, taken in July 1901. The lush greenery and the ancient ruins of the abbey create a striking contrast, highlighting the harmony between the past and the present. This photograph serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of the Webster family at Battle Abbey and their deep-rooted connection to this historic estate.
