1938, a young soldier photographed in a photo studio with, likely, his sisters or maybe his sister and fiancee. What is the story of this photo? Is he being enlisted now to go to war? Is he back on holiday or perhaps he has just returned from war? The two ladies seem to be proud of the young man. He has protected their country, he is the pride of the family.
Birthday admiration for some remarkable women of the Pre-Raphaelite and Arts & Crafts period❤️
