EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the enchanting figure of Helen Mary Elizabeth Taylor, dressed in full Gypsy attire, as captured by the innovative lens of Madame Yevonde in the early 1920s. Born as Helen Mary Elizabeth Collins, the subject's ethereal beauty is accentuated by the vibrant colors and intricate details of her Gypsy costume. Madame Yevonde, born as Dorothy Wilding Cumbers Middleton in 1893, was a pioneering English photographer who made history by being one of the first to experiment with color in portrait photography. Her professional name, Madame Yevonde, was a nod to her Russian and Hungarian heritage, which she believed added an exotic allure to her work. In this image, Taylor's expressive eyes and delicate features are framed by a flowing, patterned shawl, while her arms are adorned with intricate bangles and bracelets. Her hair is styled in loose, flowing curls, and she wears a bold red lip and heavy eyeliner, adding to the mystique of her Gypsy persona. The backdrop of the photograph is simple, allowing the subject and her costume to take center stage. The rich colors and textures of the fabric, combined with Taylor's captivating presence, transport us to another time and place, evoking the spirit of the Romany people and their nomadic way of life. This photograph is a testament to the artistic vision and technical prowess of Madame Yevonde, who captured the essence of Helen Mary Elizabeth Taylor's Gypsy spirit in a way that continues to captivate and inspire us today.
