EDITORS COMMENTS
Miss Margaret Whigham, later known as the Duchess of Argyll, was the epitome of beauty and elegance in the roaring twenties and thirties, making headlines as the most photographed society figure of her day. In this caricature by Poli, Miss Whigham is depicted during her tour of Cairo in 1932, where she met and became engaged to the Earl of Warwick. The image captures the young socialite's vibrant personality and the allure that drew the attention of the upper class and the media. Born in 1912, Margaret Whigham's striking looks and charisma made her a favorite among the elite circles of London society. Her engagement to the Earl of Warwick, who was 12 years her senior, was highly publicized in the press, with many anticipating a grand wedding. However, the couple called off their engagement just a few months later, leaving the public in shock and intrigued by the mysterious turn of events. Despite the failed engagement, Miss Whigham continued to captivate the public's imagination. She went on to marry the 11th Duke of Argyll in 1939, becoming the Duchess of Argyll. Their tumultuous marriage was marked by scandal and divorce, further fueling the public's fascination with her life. This caricature serves as a testament to the enduring allure of Miss Margaret Whigham, a true icon of the golden age of society and beauty.
