EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking cover image from The Sketch magazine, dated June 19, 1933, features a captivating portrait of Senorita Edelmira San Pedro-Ocejo. Born in Cuba, Edelmira had made headlines when she was announced as the fiancée of the Prince of Asturias, the eldest son of King Alfonso XIII of Spain. The Prince's decision to marry Edelmira came with significant consequences, as he relinquished his right to the throne in order to do so. Upon their marriage, Edelmira became the Countess of Covadonga. The couple's wedding was a grand affair, attended by royalty and dignitaries from around the world. However, their marriage was short-lived, as they divorced in 1938. This portrait captures the essence of Edelmira's beauty and elegance, as she gazes out with a confident and poised expression. The photograph, with its high contrast and dramatic lighting, adds to the timeless and iconic quality of the image. The Sketch was a leading society and celebrity magazine at the time, and this cover image offers a glimpse into the glamour and intrigue of the Spanish royal family during the early 20th century. The image is a testament to the enduring power of photography to capture and preserve historical moments and the stories of the people who shaped them.
