Captured in the picturesque setting of Trevince House, Gwennap, Cornwall, this timeless photograph transports us back to September 1909. Miss Davies and Miss Beauchamp grace the garden with their elegant presence, showcasing the fashion trends of their era. Miss Davies stands proudly in a variation of Welsh national costume, her attire reflecting her cultural heritage. The intricate details and vibrant colors of her outfit pay homage to tradition while adding a touch of individuality. Meanwhile, Miss Beauchamp exudes sophistication in a fashionable summer ensemble that epitomizes Edwardian elegance. Her flowing dress and stylish hat perfectly complement the serene surroundings. The presence of a beautifully decorated basket on the ground hints at an upcoming formal event within these idyllic grounds.
