EDITORS COMMENTS
In this enchanting photograph, Maxine Elliott, the celebrated American actress, is captured in a moment of tranquility amidst the lush greenery of her garden at Bushey, Hertfordshire, England. The year is 1915, and the serene atmosphere is a stark contrast to the tumultuous events of her personal life. Maxine Elliott, born in 1868, was a renowned figure on both sides of the Atlantic. She was a reputed lover of the powerful American financier J.P. Morgan, and later, the New Zealand tennis player, Anthony Wilding. Tragically, Wilding was killed in action during World War I in 1915, just a few months before this photograph was taken. The treehouse in Maxine's garden, nestled amongst the branches of a grand old tree, adds an air of whimsy and romance to the scene. The image transports us to a bygone era, where the simple pleasures of nature and the company of loved ones provided solace and respite from the complexities of life. Maxine Elliott's garden at Bushey was a haven for her, a place where she could escape the glare of the public eye and find peace. The treehouse, a testament to her playful and adventurous spirit, remains a symbol of her enduring legacy as an actress and a woman who lived life on her own terms. This photograph offers a glimpse into the life of a remarkable woman, a time long past, and the beauty and serenity of a garden that continues to inspire and captivate us today.
