EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of Welsh tradition and the simple pleasures of an afternoon tea session, as a Welsh woman, dressed in her national costume, sits comfortably at a well-set table. Dating back to the late Victorian era, around 1890, this image transports us to a bygone age. The woman, with her tall, white hat adorned with ribbons and flowers, wears a voluminous, dark dress with intricate patterns and lace details. Her apron, also adorned with lace, adds a touch of elegance and completes her traditional attire. The table, draped in a pristine white tablecloth, is set with fine china, a teapot, and two teacups. A delicate cake sits on a plate, ready to be enjoyed with the steaming hot tea. The woman's hands, adorned with rings and a delicate bracelet, cradle the teacup as she takes a sip, her expression one of contentment and relaxation. The warm, inviting atmosphere of this scene is further emphasized by the soft, natural light filtering in through the window, casting a gentle glow over the woman and the table. This photograph is a beautiful reminder of the rich cultural heritage of Wales and the enduring appeal of the traditional afternoon tea session. It invites us to take a moment to appreciate the simple joys of life and the warmth and comfort that comes from the company of good friends and a well-prepared pot of tea.
