EDITORS COMMENTS
Miss Whittington, a graceful and elegant young lady, poses confidently for her portrait photograph taken at Duncton School in February 1901. The image captures the Edwardian era's refined beauty and sophistication, with Miss Whittington dressed in a high-necked blouse and a full, flowing skirt. Her hair is styled in an intricate updo, adorned with a delicate ribbon and a small flower. The photograph was taken by an unidentified photographer in the school's portrait studio, and is part of the Walter Kevis Collection held at the West Sussex Record Office (Ref. No: Kevis 1/W383). The collection, which includes over 1,000 glass plate negatives and prints, provides a fascinating glimpse into the lives of the people of West Sussex during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Miss Whittington's portrait is a testament to the importance of photography during this period, when having a formal portrait taken was a significant event. The photograph would have been proudly displayed in her family home, serving as a reminder of her youth and beauty. It is a poignant reminder of the past, and a valuable historical record of a young woman from Duncton over a century ago.
