EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking portrait captures the elegant and refined beauty of Viscountess Deerhurst, formerly Virginia Daniel Bonynge, in the early 20th century. Born in California to millionaire Charles W. Bonynge, Virginia was part of a group of wealthy American heiresses who married into the British aristocracy, earning them the nickname 'dollar princesses.' In this Edwardian-era image, Virginia is depicted in the height of fashion, dressed in an elegant gown with intricate beading and lace detailing. Her hair is styled in an elegant updo, adorned with a delicate headpiece that adds a touch of sophistication to her look. Her piercing gaze and confident posture exude a sense of poise and grace, reflecting the air of sophistication and wealth that defined the aristocracy of the time. As a member of the British nobility, Virginia would have been expected to uphold the traditions and customs of the aristocracy, attending social events, hosting lavish parties, and engaging in charitable work. Her marriage to the Viscount Deerhurst, a title held by the eldest son of the Earl of Dartmouth, further solidified her place in British high society. This portrait offers a glimpse into the world of the aristocracy during the Edwardian era, a time of opulence, elegance, and tradition. It serves as a reminder of the enduring allure of wealth and status, as well as the importance of presentation and appearance in defining one's place in society.
