EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment of quiet intimacy and elegance at Reddish House, the country home of celebrated photographer and designer Cecil Beaton. Taken in 1951, the image finds Beaton seated at the lunch table, surrounded by the soothing countryside of Broadchalke near Salisbury. Joining him are his mother, Lady Hilda Beaton, and the writer Hal Burton, played by the actress Miss Davies in a production of Noel Coward's "Present Laughter" at Reddish House. Beaton's impeccable sense of style is on full display in the image, with the photographer's refined attire and the elegant table setting. The interior of Reddish House, with its ornate wallpaper, antique furnishings, and tasteful decor, exudes an air of sophistication and comfort. The sunlight streaming in through the window adds a warm, inviting glow to the scene. The photograph offers a glimpse into the private world of Cecil Beaton, a man known for his public persona as a society figure and a leading figure in the world of fashion and design. Here, however, we see him in a more personal setting, enjoying the company of his loved ones and the simple pleasures of a country lunch. The image is a testament to the enduring charm of Reddish House and the timeless beauty of the English countryside.
