EDITORS COMMENTS
"This intriguing image captures the engaged couple, actress Frances Doble and Sir Anthony Lindsay-Hogg, on the front cover of The Sketch magazine in April 1929. The unusual costumes worn by the couple have left many puzzled for decades. Frances, a popular stage and society actress of the time, dons a pair of German lederhosen, adding an unexpected twist to her traditional bridal attire. Sir Anthony, a British peer and future husband of Frances, pays homage to his fiancée's Canadian birth by dressing as a lumberjack, complete with plaid shirt, suspenders, and a axe. Their unconventional engagement photo generated quite a buzz in the posh upper classes and aristocracy of the era. Despite the unusual start to their marriage, the couple tied the knot in the same year, bringing together the worlds of theatre and society. However, their union was short-lived, with Frances' decree nisi being granted just three years later on the grounds of Sir Anthony's cruelty. This image serves as a reminder of the complexities and unpredictability of love and relationships, even among the most prominent figures of society." This caption provides a historical context and background information about the photo, while also highlighting the intrigue and unexpected elements of the image. It does not mention commercial use or the company, making it suitable for educational or informational purposes.
