EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the moment Mr. and Mrs. John D. Rockefeller III (1906-1978) return from their honeymoon aboard the Monarch of Bermuda on December 15, 1932. The newlyweds, John, an American philanthropist and businessman, and his bride, Blanchette Hooker (1909-1992), formerly of Greenwich, Connecticut, are seen stepping off the ship's deck with joyful expressions. Blanchette, dressed in a stylish hat and fur coat, holds on to her husband's arm as they make their way down the gangplank. John, wearing a smart suit and hat, looks proudly at his wife. The Monarch of Bermuda was a popular choice for honeymooners in the 1930s, and the couple's return to New York City after their idyllic getaway was undoubtedly an exciting occasion. Blanchette was the daughter of Elon Huntington Hooker, founder of Hooker Electrochemical Company, adding to the prominent families' connection. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the history of American high society during the 1930s. The elegance and sophistication of the newlyweds, along with the grandeur of the Monarch of Bermuda, make this image a beautiful addition to any collection focused on American history, social history, or the lives of the wealthy and influential.
