EDITORS COMMENTS
This page from the supplement of The Sketch magazine, dated 1903, showcases four remarkable American heiresses who graced the British aristocracy with their presence. Clockwise from the top left, we encounter The Countess of Orford, formerly Louise Corbin, the daughter of Mr. D.C. Corbin of New York. Next is Mrs. George Cornwallis-West, née Jennie Jerome, the mother of Sir Winston Churchill, and the daughter of Mr. Leonard Jerome of New York. At the bottom right, we find The Countess of Donoughmore, Elena Grace, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. P. Grace of New York. Lastly, we meet the Duchess of Manchester, Helena Zimmerman, the daughter of Mr. Eugene Zimmerman of Cincinnati. These women, born and raised in America, brought their newfound wealth and status to the Old World, leaving indelible marks on British society during the Edwardian era. Their portraits, captured in this photograph, serve as a testament to their regal beauty and the transatlantic connections that shaped history.
