EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait captures the elegance and grace of Lady Diana Spencer (later the Duchess of Sutherland) and her elder sister, Elizabeth Percy, as they were presented at one of the June courts in 1935. The daughters of the Duke and Duchess of Northumberland, they were two of the most prominent figures in British aristocratic society during the interwar period. Lady Diana, dressed in a simple yet sophisticated gown with a delicate floral headpiece, is being presented by her mother, the Duchess of Northumberland, to the assembled nobility and dignitaries. Her poised demeanor and captivating smile reveal her natural charisma and charm. Just a few years later, in 1939, she would marry the Duke of Sutherland in a grand ceremony at Westminster Abbey, becoming a duchess herself. Elizabeth Percy, dressed in an equally elegant gown, looks on with a serene expression. She would go on to marry the 14th Duke of Hamilton in 1937 at St. Giles, Edinburgh, and would have five sons. The sisters' beautiful portraits, taken by the renowned photographer Madame Yevonde, are a testament to their aristocratic upbringing and the refined elegance of the time. This photograph offers a glimpse into the world of the British aristocracy and the grandeur of the courts in the 1930s. The sisters' timeless beauty and poise continue to captivate viewers, making this portrait a treasured piece of social history.
