EDITORS COMMENTS
September 25, 1929: A Historical Snapshot of Miss Nancy Cunard's Cover Appearance in The Sketch This front cover of The Sketch, dated September 25, 1929, showcases a striking photograph by the renowned British photographer Cecil Beaton of the charismatic and influential figure, Miss Nancy Cunard. As an heiress, poet, and political activist, Cunard's life was a fascinating blend of wealth, creativity, and social consciousness. The photograph, taken at the height of her fame, captures Cunard's enigmatic charm and allure. She is depicted wearing a simple wooden beaded necklace, a pair of elegant bangles, and a confident expression that speaks volumes about her strong character. The black-and-white image is a testament to the timeless appeal of Beaton's photography and the enduring allure of Cunard's persona. Cunard's ownership of the Hours Printing Press further solidified her place in history as a pioneering figure in the publishing industry. Her commitment to social justice and political activism was evident in her work, which included publishing the influential anthology "Negro," which showcased the works of black writers and artists. This cover of The Sketch offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the life of a remarkable woman who defied societal expectations and left an indelible mark on history. The photograph, with its wooden texture and intricate details, serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage that continues to inspire and captivate us today.
