EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the elegant and refined beauty of Lady Georgiana Curzon, Countess Howe (1887-1962), and her daughter, Lady Georgiana Mary Kidston, née Curzon (1910-1976), in an intimate mother-daughter moment. The portrait was taken by the renowned British photographer, Yevonde (Mary Howe, later Countess Howe, 1893-1975), in 1929. At the time, Lady Georgiana Curzon was the first wife of the 5th Earl Howe, while her daughter was married to Home Ronald Archibald Kidston. However, Lady Georgiana would later marry Lewis Stanton Starkey, and her daughter would be known as Lady Starkey. The photograph showcases the aristocratic elegance and sophistication of the time, with Lady Georgiana Curzon dressed in a chic, high-necked gown and her daughter in a simple yet elegant dress. The mother and daughter gaze at each other with a tender expression, their connection palpable in the image. The soft lighting and muted colors add to the intimate and timeless quality of the portrait. Yevonde, born Mary Howe, was a pioneering figure in British photography, known for her innovative portraits of women, particularly those in the aristocracy. Her unique approach to portrait photography, which emphasized the subject's personality and individuality, set her apart from her contemporaries. This photograph of Lady Georgiana Curzon and her daughter is a testament to her skill and artistry, capturing the essence of their relationship and the spirit of the era.
