EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, Lord Desborough, William Henry Grenfell (1865-1937), is seen driving himself to the traditional Eton vs. Harrow cricket match in July 1914. Accompanying him in the open-topped automobile is his youngest son, Ivo (b. 1899). The image captures the essence of the British aristocracy during the summer season, with Lord Desborough dressed in the height of upper-class fashion, donning a top hat and tailcoat. Lord Desborough, a prominent figure in British politics and society, was a member of the House of Lords and held various titles throughout his life. His presence at the Eton Harrow cricket match was a testament to the longstanding tradition and camaraderie between the two prestigious schools. The annual event was a highlight of the social calendar for the aristocracy and gentry, drawing large crowds and generating much excitement. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the world of the aristocracy and their social engagements. The serene expression on Lord Desborough's face and the carefree demeanor of his youngest son, Ivo, convey the relaxed atmosphere of the summer event. The open road, the lush greenery, and the sense of anticipation for the cricket match all contribute to the timeless charm of this image. This photograph is a poignant reminder of a bygone era, where tradition, class, and leisurely pursuits played a significant role in the lives of the British aristocracy. It serves as a historical record of a time when the aristocracy's influence extended far beyond the political sphere and into the social fabric of society.
