EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Walter Kevis Collection, housed at the West Sussex Record Office, transports us back to a bygone era. Taken in 1894 at Petworth House, it features three adorable Ricketts children - two girls and one boy - posing for the camera. The composition is beautifully arranged with two of the children seated on a fur rug while the other stands confidently beside them. They are surrounded by elegant Victorian furniture including a chair and footstool, creating an air of sophistication even in their Sunday best attire. Their short haircuts reflect the fashion of that time period, adding to their charm. The plain background emphasizes their youthful innocence as they gaze directly into the lens with wide-eyed curiosity. This photograph captures not only a moment frozen in time but also offers us a glimpse into history. It showcases both the artistic skill of early photography and provides insight into affluent family life during this era. While we do not know much about these particular children or their connection to Petworth House, this image serves as a testament to how photography can preserve memories for generations to come. Thanks to West Sussex County Council's dedication in preserving such historical treasures like this print, we are able to appreciate and learn from our past.
