Tea on the Lawn - A Quintessential English Afternoon Tradition, 1895
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of a quintessential English afternoon tradition - taking tea on the lawn. Dating back to the late 19th century, this leisurely pastime was a popular social activity for ladies of the time. The scene unfolds on a lush, green lawn, dotted with vibrant flowers and shaded by tall, leafy trees. Five elegantly dressed ladies sit at a simple yet charmingly set table, each holding a delicate porcelain teacup in one hand and a saucer in the other. The tranquility of the moment is palpable, as they engage in animated conversation and enjoy the warmth and comfort of a steaming cup of tea. The air is filled with the sweet aroma of freshly brewed tea and the gentle sound of birdsong. The ladies' attire, consisting of high collars, long skirts, and intricate lace, adds to the overall charm and elegance of the scene. The table is adorned with an array of teacups, saucers, and teapots, as well as a selection of finger sandwiches, cakes, and pastries. The sun casts a warm, golden glow over the scene, creating a sense of timeless beauty and serenity. This photograph, titled "The English, too, have their Tea Ceremony - five ladies take tea on the lawn, Date: 1895," is a captivating reminder of a bygone era, when taking tea on the lawn was a cherished and refined pastime for English ladies. It is a testament to the enduring appeal of this simple yet delightful tradition, which continues to be enjoyed by many to this day.
