EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming photograph captures the essence of an afternoon tea ritual as it was practiced in 1903 by two Victorian ladies. Dressed in their finest attire, they sit comfortably in a cozy parlor adorned with ornate furnishings and delicate floral decorations. The ladies hold their teacups with gloved hands, taking sips of the steaming brew as they engage in animated conversation. The table before them is laden with an array of tea sandwiches, scones, and sweet pastries, all accompanied by a generous spread of clotted cream and strawberry jam. The teapot, adorned with intricate designs, sits proudly in the center of the table, ready to refill the ladies' cups. The atmosphere is one of refinement and relaxation, a moment of respite from the bustling world outside. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when afternoon tea was a cherished tradition, a time when simple pleasures were savored and enjoyed in the company of good friends.
