EDITORS COMMENTS
In this 1918 photograph, Olivia Maitland Davidson, a celebrated writer and journalist, is seen in the height of her fame. Known for her popular weekly gossip column, "Letters of Eve," in the esteemed Tatler magazine, Olivia's witty and insightful musings on society and the latest trends had become a must-read for many during the tumultuous war-time years. The image finds Olivia in a cozy study, surrounded by her beloved canine companions, Master Tou-tou and Miss Bing. These two dogs, much like their human counterpart, were not only cherished pets but also fictionalized characters in Olivia's columns. The playful illustrations, created by the talented Annie Fish, brought Olivia's words to life and added an extra layer of charm to her already engaging prose. The success of "Letters of Eve" led to the publication of her book by Constable in 1918, further cementing her status as a leading voice in the world of journalism and literature. Olivia's unique blend of humor, insight, and storytelling captivated readers and continues to inspire writers and journalists to this day. This photograph offers a glimpse into the life of a remarkable woman who, through her words and her dogs, brought joy and connection to people during a time of great change and uncertainty. It serves as a reminder of the power of the written word and the enduring bond between people and their pets.
