EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "The Listers at Sandycroft" takes us back in time to the serene garden of a beautiful residence in Formby, Merseyside. Captured by renowned photographer Henry Bedford Lemere in 1916, this group portrait showcases Sidney John Lister and his beloved family. In this snapshot frozen in history, we see the Listers gathered together amidst lush greenery and vibrant blooms. The family exudes an air of elegance and contentment as they strike a pose for Lemere's lens. Sidney John Lister, who resided at Sandycroft during this period, was employed by the prestigious Cunard Steamship Company. As we explore every detail within this image, it becomes evident that love and unity are at the heart of the Listers' story. Each member radiates warmth and affection towards one another while basking in the tranquility of their picturesque surroundings. Lemere's expert composition captures not only their physical presence but also hints at their shared experiences and cherished memories. It is through photographs like these that we can glimpse into lives lived long ago – a testament to the enduring power of family bonds. "The Listers at Sandycroft" serves as a poignant reminder that even amidst tumultuous times such as those experienced during World War I, moments of joy can still be found within our own gardens – where love blossoms eternally.
