EDITORS COMMENTS
Miss Anne Sutherland, a radiant debutante, graces this portrait taken by the renowned photographer Madame Yevonde in 1939. Daughter of Colonel Robert Sutherland of the Poona Horse, Miss Sutherland had just returned from Munich when she made her grand entrance into London society at her coming-out ball. The photograph finds Miss Sutherland playfully interacting with a bust of Julius Caesar, leading him by the nose with a confident and mischievous grin. The historical setting of the portrait, with its ornate background and classical statue, adds an air of elegance and sophistication, reflecting the grandeur of the debutante season. Madame Yevonde, a pioneer in the field of portrait photography, was known for her innovative techniques and unique approach to capturing the essence of her subjects. In this image, she has brilliantly captured the youthful spirit and exuberance of Miss Sutherland as she embarks on the exciting journey of adulthood. The debutante season was an important rite of passage for young women in high society during the early 20th century. It marked their transition from girlhood to womanhood and provided an opportunity for them to make their entrance into the world of fashion, social events, and marriage prospects. This photograph of Miss Anne Sutherland is a testament to the rich history and tradition of the debutante season, a time when young women were celebrated for their beauty, grace, and potential. The intricate details of the portrait, from Miss Sutherland's elegant gown to the ornate background, transport us back to a bygone era and offer a glimpse into the world of London society in the 1930s.
