EDITORS COMMENTS
This cover of The Tatler magazine from 1929 showcases a stunning portrait of Lady Mary Lygon, a prominent figure in British high society. Born as the sixth child of the 7th Earl of Beauchamp and Lady Lettice Grosvenor, Lady Mary was a granddaughter of the 1st Duke of Westminster. She was affectionately known as "Maimie" by many. Lady Mary's close friendship with Evelyn Waugh, a renowned English author, is a well-known fact. Her life and the Lygon family are believed to have served as an inspiration for Waugh's classic novel "Brideshead Revisited." In this exquisite portrait, Lady Mary is captured in an elegant pose, wearing a chic dress and a radiant smile. The photograph was taken by the renowned British photographer Madame Yevonde, who was known for her innovative and artistic portraits of the upper class. The image exudes an air of sophistication and charm, making it a true representation of the era's socialite culture. Lady Mary's personal life was just as intriguing as her public persona. In 1923, she married Prince Vsevolode Joannovitch of Russia, adding another layer of intrigue to her already fascinating story. The cover of The Tatler from September 16, 1929, is a testament to Lady Mary's beauty, grace, and status in British high society during the interwar period. This iconic image continues to captivate audiences and remains a significant piece of social history.
