EDITORS COMMENTS
In this elegant photograph from 1939, Princess Alice, Duchess of Gloucester (1901-2004), is seen in the company of three distinguished ladies: the Earl and Countess of Athlone, Agnes, Lady Cowdray, and Lady Bradford. Princess Alice, born Lady Alice Douglas Scott, was the daughter of the 9th Earl of Morton and Lady Beatrix Elphinstone. In 1935, she married Prince Henry, Duke of Gloucester, the third son of King George V. The Earl and Countess of Athlone, Frederick and Alice, held the titles of Governor-General and Governor-General's Consort of the Dominion of South Africa from 1925 to 1931. Agnes, Lady Cowdray, was the wife of the 6th Earl Cowdray, while Lady Bradford, born Violet, was the wife of the 6th Earl Bradford. The occasion of this photograph is not explicitly stated, but it appears to be a social gathering or wedding reception. The ladies are dressed in the height of 1930s fashion, with the Duchess of Gloucester wearing a chic, long-sleeved, floor-length gown with a high neckline and a fitted waist. The Earl and Countess of Athlone are also dressed in formal attire, while Lady Cowdray wears a stylish, short-sleeved dress with a floral print, and Lady Bradford dons a simple yet elegant dress with a high collar and a matching jacket. This photograph captures a moment in time when the upper echelons of society came together for a celebration, showcasing the grace, elegance, and refinement of the era. The ladies' impeccable fashion sense and the grandeur of the setting transport us back to the 1930s, offering a glimpse into the world of aristocratic socialites and their lavish gatherings.
