EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment of tradition and elegance from the 1920s, as a young debutante pays her respects to King George V and Queen Mary during the First Court presentation at Buckingham Palace in 1922. The deb, dressed in a stunning gown and adorned with a tiara, kneels humbly before the monarch and his consort, her hands pressed together in a gesture of reverence. Surrounded by the opulence of the royal court, this scene represents the height of upper-class society and aristocratic ceremony in early 20th century Britain. The First Court was an important rite of passage for debutantes, marking their entry into high society and signaling their readiness for marriage and social engagements. The tradition dates back to the 16th century and has been a cornerstone of British social history ever since. The photograph, taken by renowned illustrator and photographer Sir William Rothenstein, also known as "Matania," captures the grace and poise of the young woman, as well as the formal grandeur of the royal court. The image is a testament to the enduring allure of tradition and the timeless beauty of a bygone era.
