Summary
A monochrome photograph of Gioconda Mary Hulton (1887-1940), aged approximately 7 years, standing next to her cousin Brada Hulton (1877-1973) who is sitting in a chair and holding hands with her. Written in ink underneath the photograph 'Brada & Gioconda Venice'. Photograph 42 of 102 contained in Volume 1 of Costanza Hulton's personal photograph albums (1886 - 1901). Gioconda Hulton was the elder sister of Edith Teresa Hulton, later Lady Berwick. Brada Hulton was the daughter of Jessop Hulton and his first wife Brada (née Simpson) and was a cousin of Gioconda Mary and Edith Teresa Hulton. The photograph was taken at the Hulton family home in Venice. Their address was Calle della Testa 6383, San Zanipolo and the family referred to the house as Casa Hulton; it was previously known as Ca’ Donà dalle Rose. Details of the trip made to Venice by Brada Hulton can be found in the book 'The Hulton Diaries: 1832 - 1928 - A Gradely Lancashire Chronicle' written by Anthony Hogg, the son of Brada Hulton.
