EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures Mrs. Florence Emily Dugdale Hardy (nee Dugdale), the second wife of renowned English novelist Thomas Hardy, in the quiet intimacy of her home in Dorset, England, in April 1914. Florence, who was born on July 21, 1875, had previously served as Hardy's secretary before they married in December 1914. The image, taken by an unknown photographer, reveals a woman of refined elegance and deep contemplation, her expressive eyes gazing off into the distance. Florence was not only Hardy's devoted wife but also an accomplished writer of children's books. Her literary contributions, while often overshadowed by her husband's fame, added depth and richness to their shared literary world. Tragically, just a few years after this photograph was taken, Thomas Hardy fell ill. Florence faithfully nursed him through his final days, and he passed away in January 1928. This poignant image serves as a testament to their enduring love and the profound impact that Florence had on the life and work of her beloved husband. The photograph, which is part of the Iliffe News & Media (INM) Archive, offers a rare glimpse into the personal lives of these literary luminaries and the intimate moments that shaped their history. This image, with its timeless beauty and historical significance, continues to resonate with readers and scholars alike, offering a glimpse into the lives of two remarkable individuals who left an indelible mark on English literature.
