EDITORS COMMENTS
Miss Whittington, captured in this late Victorian portrait photograph taken around 1876-1908, exudes an air of elegance and refinement. The image is part of the Walter Kevis Collection housed at the West Sussex Record Office (Ref. No: Kevis 1/W387). Miss Whittington's attire is typical of the Edwardian era, with her high-necked blouse, long sleeves, and voluminous skirt. Her hair is styled in an intricate updo, adorned with a delicate floral headpiece that adds a touch of femininity to her look. Her expression is serious yet gentle, her dark eyes gazing intently at the viewer. The backdrop of the photograph is simple yet effective, with a plain, dark wall providing a stark contrast to Miss Whittington's light clothing. The photograph itself is well-preserved, with the rich tones of the image remaining vibrant despite the passage of time. The Walter Kevis Collection is a valuable resource for those interested in the social history of West Sussex during the late Victorian and Edwardian periods. This photograph of Miss Whittington is just one example of the many treasured images that provide a glimpse into the past, offering insights into the fashion, social norms, and cultural values of the time. Miss Whittington's portrait is a beautiful reminder of the elegance and grace of the late Victorian and Edwardian eras, and serves as a testament to the skill of the photographer who captured her likeness so faithfully. It is a precious addition to the West Sussex Record Office's collection and a source of inspiration for historians, genealogists, and anyone with an interest in the history of this fascinating period.
