EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white studio portrait captures the essence of Mr W Read, a distinguished footman serving at Petworth House in April 1905. Dressed immaculately in his Victorian costume, he exudes an air of elegance and professionalism that befits his role as a servant to the aristocracy. The attention to detail in his uniform is remarkable, showcasing the meticulous standards upheld by household staff during this era. The photograph itself is part of the esteemed Walter Kevis Collection housed at West Sussex Record Office. Preserved with utmost care, it provides us with a glimpse into a bygone era when social hierarchies were firmly entrenched. This image serves as a testament to both Mr W Read's individuality and the larger tapestry of British history. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time to an age where servants played an integral role in maintaining grand households such as Petworth House. Beyond its historical significance, however, this photograph also highlights the artistry involved in early photography. The composition and lighting expertly capture Mr W Read's dignified expression while emphasizing every intricate detail of his attire. While we may never know all there is to know about Mr W Read or his personal story, this photograph allows us to appreciate him as more than just another faceless servant from our past. It reminds us that behind every historical figure lies untold stories waiting patiently for discovery – stories that shape our understanding of society then and now.
