Cockerell Engagement Felicia Frederick Headfort Major Pepys Sep18 Stewart
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative portrait captures the radiant beauty and youthful grace of Felicia Stewart as she announces her engagement to Major Headfort Brook in 1918. The image, published in The Sketch, reflects the optimism and hopefulness of the post-war era, as the young couple eagerly anticipates their future together. Felicia, dressed in an elegant gown with a flowing train, gazes directly into the camera with a confident and serene expression, her engagement ring prominently on display. Major Brook, standing behind her, looks proudly at his fiancée, his military uniform adding an air of distinction and authority. However, this engagement was not to last. The couple's plans were shattered just a year later when the relationship came to an unexpected end. Felicia went on to marry Frederick Pepys Cockerell in 1922, and this portrait serves as a poignant reminder of the fleeting nature of love and the unpredictable twists and turns that life can take. The photograph, taken during the tumultuous period of World War I, also serves as a snapshot of a bygone era, with its formal attire, elegant poses, and the ornate frames and borders that were popular at the time. The intricate details of Felicia's gown, the delicate lace on her veil, and the rich textures of the fabric and the Major's uniform all add to the timeless beauty and charm of this image.
