This print captures a historic court case that unfolded on Wednesday, August 26th, 1924. The Duchess of Westminster, filled with determination and grace, sought an injunction to prevent her estranged husband, the Duke of Westminster, along with his servants or agents from evicting her from Bourdon House in Davies Street. The image showcases the grandeur of the courtroom architecture as it serves as a backdrop for this high-profile legal battle. With its monochrome tones highlighting every intricate detail, one can almost feel the tension in the air.

As we delve into this piece of Europeana photography history, let us reflect on how women like the Duchess fought against adversity to assert their rights and challenge traditional norms.
