EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from the 1930s, Miss Margaret Whigham, later known as Mrs. Charles Sweeny and eventually the Duchess of Argyll, is seen enjoying a housewarming party at the residence of Mrs. Woolley-Hart. Accompanied by Lord Selby, the pair exudes an air of sophistication and charm. The year is 1931, and the era of the Roaring Twenties is giving way to the more subdued yet still glamorous 1930s. Miss Whigham, a renowned socialite, was known for her beauty, wit, and impeccable style. Her presence at this event further underscores the importance and exclusivity of the gathering. Lord Selby, a member of the British aristocracy, adds to the allure of the image with his distinguished appearance and elegance. The housewarming party at Mrs. Woolley-Hart's residence was likely an occasion for friends and family to gather and celebrate the beginning of a new chapter in her life. The image captures a moment of joy and camaraderie, as the guests mingle and enjoy each other's company. The decor of the room, with its ornate moldings and elegant table settings, adds to the overall sense of refinement and elegance. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the world of high society in the 1930s, a time of change and transformation. It serves as a reminder of the importance of social connections and the role they played in shaping the lives of the elite during this era. The image also highlights the enduring allure of the past and the continued fascination with the history and traditions of this bygone era.
