EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming photograph, Lady Jeune, the elegant wife of Sir Francis Jeune, and her daughter, The Hon. Mrs. St. John Brodrick (formerly Miss Madeleine Stanley), are seen enjoying a leisurely country drive with Poet Laureate Alfred Austin. The year is circa 1905, and the trio is making the most of a beautiful day in the English countryside. Lady Jeune, dressed in a stylish hat and long, flowing coat, sits in the passenger seat of the motorcar, her expression one of delight and enjoyment. Her daughter, equally well-dressed, sits in the back seat, gazing out of the window with a thoughtful expression. Poet Laureate Alfred Austin, wearing a top hat and overcoat, sits in the driver's seat, looking focused and in control as he steers the vehicle along the winding country roads. The scene is idyllic, with the rolling hills and lush greenery of the English countryside stretching out before them. The motorcar, a symbol of modernity and progress, adds an air of excitement and adventure to the outing. Alfred Austin, who served as Poet Laureate from 1896 until his death in 1913, was a prolific and popular poet, known for his works on various subjects, including nature, history, and mythology. His presence in the photograph adds an air of literary refinement to the scene, making it a delightful snapshot of the time. As they head out on their country drive, Lady Jeune, her daughter, and Poet Laureate Alfred Austin are lost in their own world, leaving behind the hustle and bustle of city life to enjoy the simple pleasures of the countryside. The photograph is a beautiful reminder of a bygone era, when life moved at a slower pace, and the simple joys of nature and family were cherished.
