A recurring image in my work, is of four beautiful ladies, dressed in Edwardian finery, complete with parasols and flower-laden bonnets, propelling their boat inexpertly through the water. The title “An Argosy of Beauty” was given to them by their original photographer who worked in the area around Bath at the end of the 19th century.
Over several years I pictured them making a tour of Britain, posing for photographers and artists in many of the nation’s best known beauty spots. Here the four ladies in their boat sail past the window of a house designed by Voysey.
Charles Voysey (1857 - 1941) was an English architect and designer of furniture and textiles.
