The Food of Love - Tilly Losch, Countess of Carnarvon, Welcomes Child Evacuees at Highclere Castle, Newbury (1939)
Amid the tumultuous backdrop of World War II, a beacon of hope and compassion emerged in the form of Tilly Losch, Countess of Carnarvon. This Austrian-born dancer, choreographer, actress, and painter, who made her home at the historic Highclere Castle in Newbury, England, extended her generosity to the most vulnerable members of her community. In this poignant image captured by renowned photographer Edwin Evans, Losch is seen hosting child evacuees in the grand halls of her estate. The year was 1939, and the looming threat of war had forced the evacuation of thousands of children from urban areas to safer rural locations. Losch, recognizing the importance of providing comfort and stability to these displaced young ones, opened her doors to them at Highclere Castle. The warmth and kindness evident in her expression as she interacts with the children speaks volumes about her unwavering commitment to the welfare of her community during these trying times. The title of this evocative photograph, "The Food of Love," underscores the nourishing impact that Losch's kindness had on these children. Through her simple yet profound act of hospitality, she provided them with more than just sustenance; she offered them a sense of security and belonging in the midst of chaos and uncertainty. This poignant moment in history serves as a testament to the power of compassion and the enduring spirit of community during wartime. As we bear witness to Losch's selfless act, we are reminded of the importance of extending kindness and empathy to those in need, especially during the most challenging of times.
