EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the elegance and grace of an Edwardian couple, Kate Nash and her brother's friend Edgar Battersby, as they pose at Lion Rock in the picturesque village of Dovedale, Derbyshire, in 1909. The serene beauty of the natural surroundings is a stark contrast to the turbulent events that would unfold in the years to come. Kate Nash, finely dressed in a high-necked blouse and long skirt, gazes demurely at the camera, her hand delicately placed on Edgar's arm. Edgar, wearing a smart suit and hat, looks off into the distance with a thoughtful expression. The brother of the photographer, Edgar volunteered for service in the Great War just a few short years after this photograph was taken. Tragically, he lost his life at the Battle of Arras in April 1917, at the age of 37. The image is a poignant reminder of the innocence of a bygone era and the harsh realities of history that followed. The serene beauty of Dovedale, with its iconic Lion Rock, serves as a backdrop to this poignant moment in time. The photograph is a testament to the fleeting nature of life and the enduring power of memory.
