EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment of tranquility and familial bonding in the midst of wartime London. The Duchess of Buccleuch, Elizabeth Montagu-Douglas-Scott (1860-1947), is seen here with two of her daughters, Lady Margaret Montagu-Douglas-Scott (b. 1893) and Lady Alice Montagu-Douglas-Scott (later the Duchess of Gloucester, b. 1901), as they take a leisurely stroll through the English capital in the spring of 1917. The First World War was in full swing, and the city was undergoing significant changes. Yet, amidst the chaos and uncertainty, the Duchess and her daughters managed to find a moment of peace and relaxation. Their elegant attire and serene expressions contrast sharply with the backdrop of war-torn London, providing a poignant reminder of the resilience and grace of the British aristocracy during this challenging period. On the left, Lady Margaret, the eldest daughter, is dressed in a simple yet elegant dress with a matching hat, while her mother, the Duchess, wears a stylish coat and hat adorned with a feather. In the middle, Lady Alice, who would later marry Prince Henry, Duke of Gloucester (the third son of King George V), is dressed in a pretty floral dress and a simple hat. The sisters' close relationship is evident in their body language, as they walk hand in hand with their mother. This photograph offers a glimpse into the lives of the British aristocracy during a time of great upheaval and change, and serves as a testament to the enduring power of family and the human spirit.
