EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Mrs. Sacheverell Sitwell: A Patron of Modern Literature in the 1920s" 2.. This photograph, taken by the renowned British portrait photographer Madame Yevonde in 1929, features Mrs. Georgia Doble Sitwell, the Canadian wife of the celebrated English writer, Sacheverell Sitwell. The image was published in The Tatler, a prestigious society magazine of the time. Mrs. Sitwell, with her bobbed hair and striking features, exudes an air of sophistication and intelligence. Despite not being a writer herself, she was known for her well-developed appreciation of modern literature and her role as a patron of the arts and the literati. Her husband, Sacheverell Sitwell, was a prominent figure in the English literary scene, and her sister, Frances Doble, was an accomplished actress. The 1920s, also known as the "Roaring Twenties," was a time of cultural and artistic innovation, and Mrs. Sitwell was a prominent figure in this vibrant social scene. Her presence at literary gatherings and her support of emerging writers made her a respected and influential member of the intelligentsia. Madame Yevonde's photograph captures the essence of this remarkable woman, whose intellect and appreciation for modern literature made her an essential part of the literary and social fabric of the 1920s. The image serves as a testament to her enduring legacy and her role as a patron of the arts during a time of great cultural change.
