EDITORS COMMENTS
Lady Mary Charteris, born in 1895, was the elegant and captivating daughter of the 11th Earl of Wemyss and a beloved member of the British aristocracy. In this striking portrait, Lady Mary is depicted in the pages of Tatler magazine, marking the occasion of her marriage to Lieutenant Algernon W. Strickland of the Royal Gloucestershire Hussars in 1915. The photograph captures the young bride's radiant beauty and the refined elegance of her upper-class upbringing. Lady Mary's lineage was steeped in history and tradition. Her father, the Earl of Wemyss, was a prominent figure in Scottish society, and her older sister, Lady Cynthia Asquith, was a celebrated hostess and socialite. This marriage to Lieutenant Strickland, a gallant soldier, marked the beginning of Lady Mary's own journey into society and the world of high society. The portrait, taken in the early years of the 20th century, offers a glimpse into the opulent world of the British aristocracy during a time of great change. The First World War was raging, and the lives of the upper classes were forever altered. Yet, amidst the turmoil, the traditions and rituals of the aristocracy continued, including the grand wedding celebrations of young couples like Lady Mary and Lieutenant Strickland. This portrait is a testament to the enduring allure of the British aristocracy and the timeless beauty of its members. It serves as a reminder of a bygone era, one filled with elegance, tradition, and the unwavering grace of those who bore the title of Lady or Lord.
