EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning black and white portrait captures the elegance and beauty of Lady Davson, formerly known as Miss Margot Glyn, in 1925. Daughter of the renowned novelist Elinor Glyn, Lady Davson made headlines when she married Sir Edward Davson in 1921. The couple's wedding was described in The Sketch as having been attended by "some of the prettiest young married women in Society." In this portrait, taken by the celebrated photographer Madame Yevonde, Lady Davson exudes an air of sophistication and grace. Her delicate features, accentuated by the contrast of the light and shadow, are captured in exquisite detail. The intricate beading on her dress shimmers in the dimly lit room, adding an element of glamour and allure. At the time of this portrait, Lady Davson was a young mother, having given birth to her son, Geoffrey, just a year earlier. Despite her new role as a wife and mother, she continued to be a prominent figure in London society, attending fashionable events and charitable functions. Madame Yevonde's portrait of Lady Davson is a testament to the beauty and elegance of the era, and a reminder of the enduring allure of the Roaring Twenties. This photograph is a precious piece of history, offering a glimpse into the lives of the wealthy and influential figures of the time, and a reminder of the timeless beauty and grace of the women who graced their social circles.
