EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in this timeless print, we see Betty and Paul Gillespie, the enchanting children of the renowned theatrical tycoon, Mr R H Gillespie. The photograph was taken on a serene September day in 1928 at their picturesque residence, Dene Place, nestled amidst the idyllic landscapes of Horsley, Surrey. Intriguingly multifaceted even at such a tender age, these young personalities embody both grace and curiosity. With an air of sophistication beyond their years, Betty exudes elegance while Paul emanates a mischievous charm that is impossible to resist. Beyond their privileged upbringing in the world of theater magnificence lies another facet to their family's legacy - farming. In his spare time away from dazzling audiences with his theatrical ventures, Mr R H Gillespie tends to several hundred acres surrounding Dene Place. This unexpected juxtaposition between show business and agriculture adds depth to the narrative behind this image. The garden setting provides an ethereal backdrop for this portrait as it showcases not only nature's beauty but also hints at the whimsical water feature that graces this enchanting estate. It invites us into a world where imagination knows no bounds and childhood dreams are nurtured amidst lush greenery. Preserved by Alfieri's masterful lensmanship during Europeana Photography's golden era of the 1920s, this photograph captures a moment frozen in time - one that immortalizes two extraordinary souls destined for greatness.
