The Sultana of Johore: A Regal Portrait by Madame Yevonde for The Bystander Magazine (1931) The captivating image on the cover of The Bystander magazine's October 1931 issue showcases a regal and enigmatic portrait of the Sultana of Johore, the wife of H.H. Sir Ibrahim, Sultan of Johore. The photograph, taken by the renowned British society and portrait photographer, Madame Yevonde, presents the Sultana in an ethereal setting, contemplating a wicker birdcage. The Sultana's elegant attire, adorned with intricate gold embroidery and a magnificent diamond tiara, exudes an air of royalty and sophistication. Her expressive gaze, fixed on the birdcage, adds an element of mystery and intrigue to the portrait. The delicate wicker cage, filled with vibrant, exotic birds, symbolizes the captivating allure and exoticism of the Far East. Madame Yevonde's masterful use of lighting and composition creates a striking contrast between the Sultana's regal presence and the natural, organic elements of the birdcage and its inhabitants. The lush foliage and the dappled sunlight filtering through the trees in the background further emphasize the lush, tropical setting of Johore. This portrait of the Sultana of Johore, published on the front cover of The Bystander magazine, offers a glimpse into the exotic and alluring world of the Far East, while showcasing the remarkable artistry and skill of Madame Yevonde as a portrait photographer.
