EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, Viscountess Maidstone, formerly Miss Margaretta Drexel, cradles her precious baby daughter, Daphne Finch-Hatton, in a tender moment of motherly love. Margaretta, an American-born socialite, was the daughter of the renowned financier, philanthropist, and sportsman, Anthony Drexel. Her husband, Guy Finch-Hatton, was the 14th Earl of Winchilsea and Nottingham. The couple tied the knot in 1910, marking the beginning of a new chapter in Margaretta's life. The image, captured in 1914, showcases the elegant beauty of the young viscountess as she gazes adoringly into the eyes of her baby girl. The photograph is a testament to the deep bond between mother and child, as well as the refined elegance of the British aristocracy during this era. Margaretta's brother-in-law, Denys Finch Hatton, is also an intriguing figure in this family history. He was a renowned African big game hunter and adventurer, whose exploits were later immortalized in the novel "Out of Africa" by Karen Blixen, writing under her pseudonym Isak Dinesen. The interconnected lives of these fascinating individuals offer a glimpse into the rich tapestry of history, blending American and British society during the early 20th century. This evocative portrait, with its timeless charm and historical significance, is a must-have for any collection focused on society, history, or the lives of the aristocracy.
