EDITH DURHAM'S BOLD EDWARDIAN COLLECTION OF BEAUTIFUL BALKAN THINGS



Lecturer: Elizabeth Gowing

Subtitled in Edith's own words "Such costumes as I have never seen before and never shall again perhaps", the lecture is illustrated with rich fabrics and great stories. Edith's travels in the first decades of the 20th century took her across the unexplored Accursed Mountains between Kosovo, Montenegro and Albania to what are now UNESCO World Heritage sites, and through bazaars she describes as "glowing with goods". In her watercolours and seven books she recorded the objects she collected, the landscapes she visited and the people she met. She was the first female Fellow and then Vice President of the Royal Anthropological Institute.

    • I’m not sure how many other people have experienced this; but both me and one of my friends have the same story. Around Crawthew Grove and Crystal Palace Road: I was followed by a large fox right on my heel. At first I didn’t notice because I had my headphones on, but then I noticed my shadow had an extra lump in it, funnily enough, it was a fox, very very close to my feet. Even if I sped up walking it just tried to get closer - it was quite frightening actually, it was quite clear that it wanted to nip me. I didn’t know what to do so, I started to reprimand the fox and walked slowly away from it, facing it - which it didn’t seem to like and backed off a bit. I then proceeded to speed-walk away.   Quite frankly, the whole situation was quite embarrassing and a little bit frightful as I’d never had a fox even come up to me. I’ve heard of particularly curious foxes that might come up to someone who beckons them, and maybe even bite that person, but I’ve never heard of a fox chasing someone. The amount of confidence that it had was incredible.    When it happened, I was on the way to see some friends, and once I had told one of them, she told me the same thing happened to her.  if anyone else knows anything about this bitey fox then let me know!
    • Another recommendation for Andy. I needed an old kitchen removed as an emergency. Andy came over quickly and did a fantastic job. I have used Andy a few times. He is punctual, helpful and always does an  excellent job.
