EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures a moment in time as Lord Louis Mountbatten, the last Viceroy of India, and his wife, the former Edwina Ashley, are flanked by their two young daughters, Patricia and Pamela. The image, taken by the renowned British portrait photographer Madame Yevonde in 1939, showcases the elegance and sophistication of the Mountbatten family. Lord Louis Mountbatten, born in 1900, was a prominent figure in British royalty and politics, serving as the last Viceroy of India from 1947 to 1948. He played a key role in the transition of India from British rule to independence. Edwina Ashley, born in 1901, was a socialite and philanthropist, known for her beauty and charisma. The couple married in 1922, and their first daughter, Patricia, was born in 1924. Their second daughter, Pamela, was born in 1929. The family's serene expression and elegant attire convey a sense of refinement and grace. Patricia, who would later become Lady Brabourne, wears a simple yet stylish dress with a Peter Pan collar, while Pamela, who would later become Lady Hicks, is dressed in a frilly white blouse and a floral headband. The photograph was taken against a backdrop of lush greenery, adding to the idyllic and timeless feel of the image. Madame Yevonde, born in 1893, was a pioneering figure in British portrait photography. Her unique style and innovative techniques helped to define the look of British portraiture in the early 20th century. This photograph of the Mountbatten family is a testament to her skill and artistry, capturing a moment of family life that is both timeless and evocative.
