EDITORS COMMENTS
This delightful caricature captures the essence of Lord and Lady Castlerosse, Viscount and Viscountess Castlerosse, formerly known as Valentine Edward Charles Browne, 6th Earl of Kenmare and Doris Delavigne, in the vibrant and scandalous atmosphere of the 1920s high society. The Earl, styled as Viscount Castlerosse from 1905 to 1941, and the Countess, daughter of Sir William Delavigne, are depicted with their characteristic flair and charisma. Lord Castlerosse, known for his sharp wit and gossip column, "The Londoners Log," published in the Sunday Express, is shown with a cigar in hand, exuding an air of sophistication and mischief. His wife, Lady Castlerosse, is depicted with an elegant and playful expression, adding to the allure of the image. The caricature, created by renowned artist Tony Wysard in 1929, captures the essence of the couple's personalities and their place in the aristocratic world of the 1920s. The era, known for its personalities and scandals, is beautifully encapsulated in this image of Lord and Lady Castlerosse. Valentine Browne, 5th Earl of Kenmare, is the father of the Earl, and the title passed to his son upon his death in 1943. The couple's marriage took place in 1923, and they remained together until Lady Castlerosse's death in 1960. This caricature serves as a fascinating glimpse into the lives of these intriguing figures from the past, offering a glimpse into the world of the aristocracy and the scandals and intrigue that surrounded them during the Roaring Twenties.
