EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures Lady Mary Lygon and Viscountess Castlerosse, née Doris Delevigne, at the Westminster Hospital Ball and Cotillon held at the Dorchester Hotel in London on June 14, 1931. Lady Mary, dressed in an elegant evening gown, adorned with intricate beading and a flowing train, gazes up at her partner with a radiant smile. Viscountess Castlerosse, a former French actress and socialite, looks equally enchanting in her sequined gown, accessorized with a feather headpiece and a dazzling diamond necklace. The Westminster Hospital Ball was an annual event organized to raise funds for the Westminster Hospital in London. The Cotillon, a traditional French dance, was a popular feature of the evening, drawing the high society crowd to the Dorchester Hotel. The 1930s were a golden age for the British aristocracy, with grand balls and social events providing an opportunity for the elite to showcase their wealth and status. Lady Mary Lygon and Viscountess Castlerosse were prominent figures in the aristocratic society of the time. Lady Mary was the daughter of the 6th Earl Beauchamp and the Hon. Violet Mary Cadogan, while Viscountess Castlerosse was born in France to a noble family. Their marriage in 1923 brought together two influential families, further solidifying their position in the upper echelons of British society. This photograph offers a glimpse into the opulence and grandeur of the 1930s aristocracy, with its elegant attire, extravagant settings, and the air of sophistication that surrounded high society events.
