Thankyou for sharing all that you share. Do not be sad! The Edwardian Lady was an important part of your teenage years and obviously instrumental in encouraging your creativity.

You're right about recording the detail, which is in the ordinary. Old family photos in shoe boxes are as just as valid a form of social and documentary resource as are past issues of LIFE magazine. Direction? Take it wherever you feel you need to: drawing is you. Cheers, B. I believe you’ve a book in you, Michael. You’re right about recording the detail, which is in the ordinary.

England in the Edwardian period was going through a the last gasp of the industrial revolution, cities were teaming with people, new fangled technologies like cars were being adopted but instead she presented a very circumspect and very proper sketchbook of 'nature' and 'beauty'. It says a lot about the constrictions and boundaries of Edith's life. wow I’d forgotten how everyone went mad on that stuff… her relatives must have made a bomb… however wouldn’t it have been more interesting is she had really drawn the countours of her life?

But I find so many others to be exciting, too ... from the gentility of the Edwardian lady to the wildness of Peter Beard. Many moods, many journals.
