EDITORS COMMENTS
The Letters of Eve: An Intimate Look into the First World War Correspondence of the Hon. Evelyn Fitzhenry and Lady Betty Berkshire, as Featured in the Tatler in 1916 This evocative photograph print, taken from the pages of the Tatler magazine in 1916, offers a poignant glimpse into the lives of two women during the First World War. The Hon. Evelyn Fitzhenry and Lady Betty Berkshire, both of high society, are seen exchanging letters in this image, their correspondence a testament to the enduring bond of friendship amidst the chaos and uncertainty of war. The scene is set against the backdrop of a military camp, with sentries standing guard in the distance, their bayonets at the ready. The image serves as a stark reminder of the reality of the war, which was ever-present in the lives of those on the home front. Despite the ominous presence of the soldiers, the focus remains on the two women and their letters. The image captures a moment of intimacy and connection, as they share their thoughts, fears, and hopes with one another. The letters, which were published in the Tatler under the title "The Letters of Eve," provided a window into the experiences of women during the war, offering a perspective that was often overlooked in the historical record. The photograph print is a poignant reminder of the human stories that lie behind the history books, and the enduring power of friendship to provide comfort and solace in even the most challenging of times. The image is a precious piece of history, offering a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the sacrifices and resilience of those who lived through the First World War.
