EDITORS COMMENTS
Miss Whittington, captured in this beautiful late Victorian portrait, was a resident of Hawkhurst Court in the picturesque village of Kirdford during the late 1800s and early 1900s. The photograph, part of the Walter Kevis Collection held at West Sussex Record Office (Ref. No: Kevis 1/W385), offers a glimpse into the elegant and refined world of a young lady of the Edwardian era. Miss Whittington's striking appearance is accentuated by her high collar, intricately beaded neckline, and elaborate hairstyle, all popular fashion choices of the time. Her piercing gaze and serious expression convey a sense of confidence and poise, reflecting the societal expectations of women during this period. Hawkhurst Court, the backdrop to this portrait, adds to the image's charm and historical significance. The grand country house, located in the heart of the West Sussex countryside, was a symbol of wealth and status in the late Victorian and Edwardian eras. The beautiful gardens and surrounding landscape would have provided a serene and idyllic setting for Miss Whittington and her contemporaries. The Walter Kevis Collection, which includes this portrait, offers a valuable insight into the social history of Kirdford and the surrounding area during the late 1800s and early 1900s. The collection, now preserved at West Sussex Record Office, is a testament to the rich heritage and cultural traditions of this fascinating period in history.
