EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment in time at the Slade School Picnic in 1899. The image, taken by an English photographer of the 20th century, showcases a group of individuals gathered together for this special occasion. The composition is filled with historical charm as we see Miss Gwen John and Miss Edna Waugh wearing elegant hats, adding to the sophistication of the scene. Mr Albert Rutherston and Mr Augustus John can also be spotted among the attendees, their presence highlighting their significance within the art community. Intriguingly, Lady Clarke Hall and Lady Rothenstein are seen mounted on horses nearby, creating a striking contrast between human and animal subjects. This juxtaposition adds depth to the photograph while hinting at a connection between nature and artistic inspiration. The Slade School Picnic holds great historical importance as it was later featured in "Fifty Years: Memories and Contrasts" a book written by twenty-seven contributors to The Times in 1932. This print from that era offers us a glimpse into this memorable event that brought together prominent figures such as Sir William Rothenstein RA and Sir William Orpen. Bridgeman Images has preserved this piece of history through their collection, allowing us to appreciate not only its aesthetic value but also its cultural significance.
