EDITORS COMMENTS
In this black-and-white portrait, Mary Ashley Cunningham-Reid, formerly known as Mary Ashley, is seen cradling her young son, Michael, in a tender moment of motherly love. The photograph, taken in 1929, captures the essence of the close bond between mother and child, as they gaze into each other's eyes with unspoken affection. Mary Ashley, who later married Sir Reginald Cunningham-Reid, was the younger sister of the late Lady Edwina Mountbatten, making her a member of the esteemed Mountbatten family. The portrait offers a glimpse into the private life of this prominent British society figure, showcasing her role as a devoted mother. Mary Ashley's elegant and refined appearance is on full display in this image, with her graceful posture and timeless fashion sense. Her son, Michael, dressed in a smart outfit, mirrors her sophistication, hinting at the privileged upbringing he was fortunate to receive. The photograph, taken during the interwar period, is a beautiful reminder of the enduring bond between a mother and her child, as well as a testament to the grace and poise of the British aristocracy during that era. This portrait is a must-have for any collection focusing on society portraits, family history, or the history of fashion.
