EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the elegant and enigmatic presence of Elizabeth Douglas-Home, Lady Dunglass, nee Alington, in the late 1930s. Born in 1909, Elizabeth was a prominent figure in British society when she married Alec Douglas-Home, who would later become the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, in 1936. The black-and-white photograph, taken in 1939, showcases Lady Dunglass's striking profile, with her distinctive, prominent nose standing out against the stark contrast of the dark background. Her piercing gaze and refined features exude an air of sophistication and confidence, reflecting the poised and influential persona she presented in public life. The 1930s, a decade marked by political and social change, provided a backdrop for Elizabeth's marriage to Alec Douglas-Home, who served as Foreign Secretary and later became the Prime Minister in 1960. This portrait, taken just before the onset of World War II, offers a glimpse into the life of a woman who played a significant role in the political landscape of the time. The photograph, which is part of the Illustrated London News (ILN) Consolidated Archive Holdings, showcases the rich history and intrigue of the era, providing a valuable addition to any collection of historical portraits or 20th-century British history.
