Summary
A monochrome photograph of a group of seven people (four males and three females) standing by railings. One of the women is Costanza (‘Zina’) Hulton (née Mazini) (1863-1939) and the other women are Alice Aitken and May Violet Sellar. The four men are Captain Gilpin Brown, Count Mocenigo, Count Bon and Count Lucchesi-Palli. Buildings are visible in the background and a woman in ‘popolana’ costume appears in the background. Written in ink underneath the photograph: 'The same & Ct Henri Lucchesi Palli Murano March 1890' and again 'Ct H. Lucchesi Palli', indicating the use of timer release. Photograph 19 of 102 contained in Volume 1 of Costanza Hulton's personal photograph albums (1886 - 1901). See also National Trust Inventory Number 610136.19 - 'The same' refers to the list of names under that photograph. Costanza (‘Zina’) Hulton was the mother of Edith Teresa Hulton, later Lady Berwick. Alice Aitken and May Violet Sellar were both friends of the Hulton family. Numerous letters from them are contained in the Attingham Collection, Shropshire Archives Accession 112. Count Mocenigo was a Venetian aristocrat and father of several young friends of Teresa Hulton. Count Lucchesi-Palli is Enrico Lucchesi-Palli (1861 - 1924), 11th Principe di Campofranco. The Lucchesi-Palli affected the French versions of their names because of the Count’s grandmother, who was a princess of the Bourbon dynasty of the Two Sicilies, and whose first husband was the Duc de Berry, of the French Bourbon dynasty.
