EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the image of Florence Fish, a housemaid in the employ of the Auerbach family, during their annual holidays in Southwold, Suffolk around the year 1907. Southwold, a charming coastal town located in East Anglia, was a popular destination for many families during the Edwardian era, offering a much-needed respite from the hustle and bustle of city life. Florence, a young woman dressed in her full housemaid's uniform, is seen here in the lush garden of the Auerbach family's holiday home. The pristine white apron and cap, along with her polished black shoes, are a testament to her dedication and professionalism. The photograph beautifully encapsulates the social hierarchy of the time, with the servant class playing a crucial role in ensuring the comfort and leisure of their employers. The backdrop of the quaint building and the well-manicured garden adds to the idyllic setting of the scene. The sun-kissed flowers and the clear blue sky further emphasize the serenity and tranquility of the holiday. The photograph not only provides a glimpse into the lives of the Auerbach family and their servants but also offers an insight into the social fabric of the early 1900s. This photograph, taken around 1907, is a poignant reminder of the close relationship between the employers and their servants during the Edwardian era. It also highlights the importance of domestic help in providing a luxurious and comfortable holiday experience for the affluent families of the time. Florence Fish, with her warm smile and impeccable uniform, adds an endearing touch to the Auerbach family's cherished memories of their holidays in Southwold, Suffolk.
