EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, a colossal stack of trunks, portmanteaux, dress baskets, and suitcases stands as a testament to the substantial trousseau of Miss Mary Goelet, the American heiress, who married His Grace Henry Innes-Kerr, 8th Duke of Roxburghe, in 1903. The extravagant display of wealth symbolizes the opulence and grandeur of the aristocratic wedding that took place that year. Mary Goelet, an American socialite and daughter of the wealthy financier and philanthropist, Ogden Goelet, brought with her a dowry of an astonishing $20 million. Her trousseau, a collection of clothing, linens, and personal belongings, was a reflection of her affluence and status. The photograph captures the immense scale of the trousseau, with the trunks piled high and spilling over, a sight that would have left an indelible impression on the onlookers. The Duke of Roxburghe, Henry Innes-Kerr, was a Scottish aristocrat who added to his title an American heiress, making their union a transatlantic marriage of great significance. Mary's arrival at the Duke's Scottish estate marked the beginning of a new era for the aristocratic family, one that was rich in both heritage and wealth. The photograph, taken in 1903, stands as a reminder of a bygone era of wealth and extravagance, where a trousseau was a symbol of a bride's status and the beginning of a new life for a duchess.
