EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, Viscountess Doris Castlerosse, a colorful socialite known for her vivacious personality and glamorous style, is seen enjoying the vibrant nightlife of New York City in 1940. The image captures a moment of pure joy and excitement as Doris, dressed in an elegant evening gown and accessorized with a feathered headpiece, raises a glass in celebration. Born in England in 1900, Doris Castlerosse made headlines throughout Europe and America for her scandalous affairs and high-profile relationships. In the late 1930s, she became embroiled in a highly publicized love triangle with the Duke of Windsor and Wallis Simpson, which ultimately led to her departure from England. Seeking a fresh start, Doris moved to New York in 1940, where she quickly became a fixture in the city's social scene. New York's bustling nightlife offered Doris a newfound freedom and excitement. She was a regular at the city's most exclusive clubs, including the Stork Club and El Morocco, where she rubbed shoulders with celebrities, politicians, and high society figures. In this photograph, Doris looks every inch the glamorous expat, her radiant smile and twinkling eyes reflecting the energy and allure of the city that had become her new home. The 1940s were a time of great change and excitement in America, and Doris Castlerosse embodied the spirit of the era. Her larger-than-life personality and daring exploits captured the imagination of the public, making her a symbol of the decadence and glamour of the time. This photograph is a testament to her indomitable spirit and her ability to embrace new adventures, even in the face of scandal and adversity.
