EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in the life of Gertraude Astlbauer, a determined 19-year-old Austrian girl. In November 1962, she stood tall at Marylebone County Court to fight for her rights as a former housemaid for Lady Violet Bonham Carter. The young woman's face reflects both strength and vulnerability as she recounts her experience of working tirelessly for three weeks without receiving any payment. Astlbauer's claim against Lady Violet is not merely about money; it symbolizes the struggle for fair treatment and respect in an era marked by social inequality. She firmly believes that the £13.10s. , along with costs, represents wages unjustly withheld from her. The lunch break sees Lady Bonham Carter surrounded by her entourage, seemingly unaffected by the ongoing trial unfolding around them. This image serves as a stark contrast between power and vulnerability, privilege and injustice. As we delve into this photograph from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to an era where nobility clashed with societal expectations and court trials became battlegrounds for justice seekers like Gertraude Astlbauer. It is a reminder that even amidst grandeur and opulence, there lies untold stories of ordinary individuals fighting their own battles against adversity - stories that deserve recognition beyond mere commercial use.
