EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures Begum Aga Khan, nee Andree Josephine Carron, in the elegant grace that defined her as the third wife of Aga Khan III, the spiritual leader and forty-eighth Imam of the Ismaili Muslims, from 1929 until their divorce in 1943. Born in Paris in 1898, Andree Carron began her career as a dressmaker before her life took an unexpected turn when she met Aga Khan III. The Imam, who was then in his sixties, was known for his extensive travels and his many marriages, and Andree became the latest addition to his harem. The photograph, taken in 1939, captures Begum Aga Khan in her prime, exuding an air of sophistication and poise. She is dressed in a chic, high-necked blouse and a long, flowing skirt, accessorized with a string of pearls and a pair of elegant earrings. Her hair is styled in soft waves, framing her delicate features. The 1930s were a significant period in Begum Aga Khan's life, as she navigated the complexities of life as a princess in the Islamic world. She was known for her modern outlook and her efforts to promote women's education and empowerment, making her a trailblazer for her time. This photograph offers a glimpse into the life of a remarkable woman, whose story is a testament to the power of personal transformation and the enduring allure of the unknown.
