EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting photograph captures the essence of a bygone era at the Goodwood Races in 1939. The scene is set with an idyllic alfresco luncheon party taking place amidst the picturesque grounds of the racecourse. The sun shines brightly overhead, casting dappled shadows on the lush grass, as a group of elegantly dressed ladies and gentlemen enjoy their picnic. At the center of the image, Lady Jean Ogilvie, Sylvia Lloyd, and Thomas Egerton, all dressed in chic summer attire, engage in animated conversation. Nearby, Lord Cavendish, Sarah Norton, David Ormsby-Gore, and Mark Howard, clad in suits and ties, appear deep in thought, perhaps discussing the day's races. The atmosphere is one of leisure and enjoyment, as the picknickers savor their gourmet spread, complete with crisp white tablecloth, fine china, and elegant silverware. The elegance and sophistication of the occasion are further emphasized by the presence of a smartly dressed waiter, who stands at the ready to attend to their every need. The 1930s, a decade known for its glamour and opulence, is beautifully represented in this image. The fashionable attire, the elegant setting, and the joyous spirit of the picnic goers all contribute to a sense of timeless charm and nostalgia. This photograph is a captivating reminder of a simpler, more graceful era, when the pleasures of an alfresco luncheon at the races could transport one to a world of beauty and refinement.
