Lady Idina Sackville and Mr Euan Wallace
Lady Idina Sackville (1893-1955), daughter of Muriel, Countess de la Warr and granddaughter of Lord Brassey, pictured on her engagement to the handsome Mr Euan Wallace of the 2nd Life Guards. The couple were married on 25th November 1913 but divorced in 1919. Wallace would be the first of Idinas five husbands. Five-times married Idina would gain notoriety as part of the Happy Valley Set when she moved to Kenya in 1924 with her third husband, Josslyn Hay, Earl of Errol. With her serial marriages and reputation for debauched decadence, she inspired the character of The Bolter in Nancy Mitfords novels, The Pursuit of Love and Love in a Cold Climate, Evelyn Waughs Vile Bodies and the character Iris Storm in The Green Hat by Michael Arlen. Date: 1913

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this elegant and timeless photograph, Lady Idina Sackville (1893-1955) is captured on the brink of a significant moment in her life as she announces her engagement to Mr. Euan Wallace of the 2nd Life Guards. The daughter of Muriel, Countess de la Warr, and granddaughter of Lord Brassey, Lady Idina's pedigree is evident in her refined and regal bearing. The year is 1913, and the young couple's wedding is set to take place on November 25th. However, this union would not last long. Lady Idina and Mr. Wallace divorced in 1919, marking the beginning of a series of marriages that would make her a notorious figure in society. In total, Lady Idina would be married five times, earning her the moniker "The Bolter" and gaining infamy as a member of the notorious Happy Valley Set in Kenya. Her scandalous behavior and debauched decadence would inspire characters in numerous novels, including Nancy Mitford's The Pursuit of Love and Love in a Cold Climate, Evelyn Waugh's Vile Bodies, and Michael Arlen's The Green Hat. Despite the controversies that would follow her throughout her life, Lady Idina's engagement to Mr. Wallace represents a moment of innocence and excitement, a brief pause before the storm of scandal and notoriety that would come to define her later years. The photograph stands as a testament to a bygone era of society and the complexities of human relationships.
