EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming photograph captures a moment in time at Oddington House in the summer of 1932, near Moreton-in-Marsh, Gloucestershire. The young siblings, David Arthur Talbot Rice and Cecil Penelope Talbot Rice, are seen playfully engaging with their gardener and groundsman, George Whyton. George, with a warm smile on his face, is in the process of rolling the grass lawn tennis court, preparing it for an upcoming match. The children, dressed in summer clothing, are delighted to be a part of the experience, as they watch and assist their gardener in the rolling process. The net is rolled up next to them, adding to the sense of anticipation for a fun-filled game of tennis. This image beautifully encapsulates the idyllic English countryside lifestyle of the 1930s and the close bond between the children and their caretaker. The Talbot Rice family's love for their gardens and outdoor activities is evident in this heartwarming photograph.
