1. Title: "Marchioness of Dufferin and Ava (Florence Davis): A Wealthy American Heiress in the British Aristocracy" 2.. This photograph captures the enchanting beauty and elegance of Florence Davis, later known as the Marchioness of Dufferin and Ava, in the year 1904. Born in the United States to the affluent John H. Davis, Florence was one of the so-called "dollar princesses," a group of wealthy American heiresses who married into the British aristocracy at the turn of the 20th century. At the time this portrait was taken, Florence was the former wife of the 2nd Marquess of Dufferin and Ava. Her marriage to the Marquess, who was a prominent British diplomat and statesman, brought her into the prestigious ranks of the British peerage and nobility. Despite her American heritage, Florence seamlessly integrated into the British aristocratic society, gracing numerous social events and making a significant impact with her charm and refined manners. After her divorce from the Marquess, she later married the 4th Earl Howe, further solidifying her place in the British nobility. This photograph serves as a testament to the fascinating era of transatlantic marriages between American heiresses and the British aristocracy, as well as the captivating allure of the wealthy socialite Florence Davis, who left an indelible mark on British high society.
