EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph from the Victorian era, we see a young upper-class girl named Beatrice (Emily Beatrice Violet, d. 1930) standing confidently on a chair, dressed in the height of fashion for her time. Her elegant attire includes a lacy neckline, a tartan skirt, and a sash adorned with the colors of the Peerage. The chair, upholstered in rich fabric, adds an air of luxury and refinement to the scene. Standing next to Beatrice is her nanny, a constant presence and source of comfort and guidance in her young life. The nanny's attire is more practical, with a simple apron and a cross around her neck, a symbol of her religious faith. This photograph was taken at Howbury Hall, located in the picturesque village of Renhold, Bedfordshire. The Polhill-Turner family, to whom Beatrice belonged, were part of the landed gentry and aristocracy of the time. The family's wealth and status were reflected in their grand home and the luxurious lifestyle they led. The photograph captures the essence of the Victorian era, with its focus on class, status, and the role of nannies in the lives of the upper class. The intricate details of Beatrice's costume, the upholstered chair, and the tartan fabric all serve to transport us back in time and offer a glimpse into the world of the Victorian gentry. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the past and the rich history that surrounds us. It invites us to reflect on the lives of the Victorians and the role that class, status, and childcare played in their society. The image of Beatrice and her nanny, standing together in the elegant surroundings of Howbury Hall, is a beautiful and enduring testament to a bygone era.
