EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in timeless black and white, this print showcases the distinguished figure of Colonel Commander the Honorable A. C. Arkwright Hore Ruthven, VC, DSO - the newly appointed Governor of South Australia. The image was taken on a crisp winter day at his residence in Farnham on 7th January 1928. Brigadier-General Sir Alexander Gore Arkwright Hore-Ruthven, as he would later become known as Lord Gowrie of Canberra and Dirleton, exudes an air of authority and grace in this portrait. His decorated military career is evident through the array of prestigious titles that follow his name. The photograph captures a moment between two significant eras - nestled between the wars during the vibrant twenties. It serves as a historical artifact from twentieth-century Europeana photography. This monochrome print evokes a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era when leaders were revered for their bravery and service to their country. The composition highlights both strength and sophistication while offering viewers a glimpse into the life of one who held great influence over South Australian affairs. Preserved by TopFoto. co. uk, this image invites us to reflect upon an extraordinary individual whose legacy continues to inspire generations.
