EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the moment when American heiress, Miss Mary (May) Goelet, became Duchess of Roxburghe upon her marriage to Henry Innes-Kerr, the 8th Duke of Roxburghe, in 1903. With a substantial dowry of approximately $20 million, May brought more than just wealth to the ancient Scottish title; she brought new life and prestige to the once impoverished peerage. During this era, numerous British nobles sought the financial support of wealthy American heiresses, who in turn earned the title, the prestige of being a chatelaine of some of England's finest stately homes, and a place in the upper echelons of society. In this photograph, May is seen in fancy dress, adding an air of elegance and opulence to her new role. The Duke and Duchess of Roxburghe's marriage was one of many such unions between American heiresses and British nobility during this time. These unions not only secured the financial future of the peerage but also brought a new wave of American influence and wealth to the British aristocracy. This photograph is a testament to the historical significance of these marriages and the impact they had on the British peerage during the early 20th century. It serves as a reminder of the fascinating interplay between old and new money, tradition and innovation, and the enduring allure of titles and prestige.
