EDITORS COMMENTS
In this black-and-white portrait, Miss Margaret Whigham, later known as the Duchess of Argyll, poses elegantly in an intricately beaded evening gown, her radiant smile reflecting the glamour and allure of the Roaring Twenties. Taken by renowned photographer Pat Charles in 1932, this impression of Margaret was published in The Bystander magazine following her engagement to the Earl of Warwick. However, the wedding never took place as Margaret called it off at the last minute. Margaret Whigham, a society beauty of her day, was most famously known for her striking features, captivating charm, and impeccable style. This portrait encapsulates her timeless elegance and charisma, making it a testament to the glamour and sophistication of the 1930s upper class. Coincidentally, the front cover of this particular issue of The Bystander features another prominent socialite, Rose Bingham, who went on to marry the Earl of Warwick instead of Margaret. This intriguing twist of fate adds an extra layer of intrigue to this photograph, highlighting the interconnected lives and loves of the social elite during this era. The portrait showcases Margaret's grace and poise, with her expressive eyes and elegant posture drawing the viewer in. The intricate beading of her gown adds a touch of glamour and opulence, making this a truly stunning and iconic image from the 1930s.
