EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures Daisy, Princess Henry of Pless, formerly known as Mary Theresa Olivia Cornwallis-West, in her prime during the Edwardian era. The image, published in The Tatler in 1904, showcases the aristocratic beauty as she played a prominent role in theatricals at Chatsworth House during King Edward VII's visit. Born in 1873, Daisy was a great society beauty who made headlines when she married one of Imperial Germany's wealthiest princes, Henry XXII Reuss of Plauen, in 1891. Her memoirs, penned in the early 20th century, offer an insightful record of the Edwardian era and the inner workings of high society. The Princess's elegant appearance and poised demeanor are on full display in this photograph. Her refined attire, with its high collar and intricate detailing, is a testament to the fashion trends of the time. The delicate lace collar and cuffs, coupled with the flowing fabric of her gown, create an ethereal effect that adds to her regal aura. The setting of the photograph, with its grand backdrop of Chatsworth House, further emphasizes the Princess's aristocratic status. The historic estate, which has been the seat of the Cavendish family since the 16th century, was a fitting location for such a grand occasion. King Edward VII's visit to Chatsworth House in 1904 was a significant event in the social calendar, and Daisy's participation in the theatricals added to the excitement and buzz surrounding the occasion. Her involvement in the production no doubt showcased her talents and charisma, solidifying her place as a prominent figure in Edwardian society.
