EDITORS COMMENTS
In this black-and-white portrait, Miss Essex and Valerie French, two elegant young ladies of the 1920s, pose gracefully for renowned British photographer Madame Yevonde. The daughters of Major the Hon. and Mrs. Gerald French, younger son of Sir John French, Earl of Ypres, these sisters embody the beauty and sophistication of the era. The sisters are dressed in the height of fashion for the time, with Miss Essex wearing a chic, high-necked blouse and a long, flowing skirt, while Valerie French dons a stylish, off-the-shoulder gown. Their poised and confident demeanor exudes an air of refinement and charm, as they gaze intently at the camera with a hint of mystery. Madame Yevonde, born Violet Florence Stansfield Greig, was a pioneering figure in portrait photography, known for her innovative use of lighting and dramatic poses. This portrait, taken in 1926, showcases her ability to capture the essence of her subjects and the spirit of the time. The sisters' connection to the Earl of Ypres adds an extra layer of intrigue to the image. Sir John French was a prominent military figure, serving as Commander-in-Chief of the British Expeditionary Force during World War I. The French family's connections to the military and aristocracy only add to the allure of this stunning portrait. This photograph is a testament to the beauty and elegance of the 1920s, as well as the skill and artistry of Madame Yevonde. It offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time of glamour and sophistication, and serves as a reminder of the enduring power of a well-crafted portrait.
