EDITORS COMMENTS
In this elegant portrait, Viscountess Curzon, formerly known as Mary Curzon, is captured with her young son, the Hon. E.R.A. Penn Curzon Howe, in 1914. Mary, the daughter of Montagu Curzon and Esme FitzRoy, married her cousin, Viscount Curzon (Francis Curzon, 5th Earl Howe), who was a Member of Parliament for Battersea South at the time. This union brought together two prominent aristocratic families, adding to the prestige and influence of the Curzon lineage. Mary's refined beauty and poised demeanor are evident in her expression and attire. Her sophisticated gown, adorned with intricate beading and a high collar, is a testament to the opulence and elegance of the era. Her son, the future Viscount, sits beside her, dressed in a smart suit and looking intently at the camera. As a godson of King Edward VII, the young boy was already a member of the royal family's inner circle, ensuring a promising future filled with privilege and responsibility. The Curzon family's place in the aristocracy and society was well-established, with a rich history that spanned generations. This portrait offers a glimpse into the lives of the aristocratic elite during the early 20th century, showcasing the refinement, elegance, and tradition that defined their world. The connection between mother and son, as well as their prominent positions within society, adds an emotional depth to this historical image.
