EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures Lady Londonderry, nee Edith Helen Chaplin, in 1912, shortly before she married Charles Vane-Tempest-Stewart, Viscount Castlereagh, and became Lady Castlereagh. The future marchioness is depicted in elegant attire, holding a leash in one hand and gazing fondly at her greyhound companion. At the time, Lady Londonderry was already making a name for herself in London society. However, when World War I broke out, she proved to be more than just a prominent hostess. Lady Londonderry's dedication to the war effort led her to become the director of the Women's Legion, originally known as the Women's Volunteer Reserve. As the Londonderry House in Park Lane was turned into a military hospital, and two of Lord Londonderry's country seats were repurposed for wounded soldiers, Lady Londonderry took a particular interest in the Military Cooking Section. Her efforts ensured that the soldiers received nutritious meals, providing them with much-needed comfort and morale boost during their recovery. This image serves as a poignant reminder of Lady Londonderry's multifaceted role in society, her love for animals, and her unwavering commitment to the welfare of others during a time of great adversity.
