In this elegant photograph, the Duchess and Duke of Sutherland, Millicent Fanny St Clair-Erskine and Cromartie Sutherland-Leveson-Gower, gracefully welcome guests to the Stafford House Lifeboat Fete in 1901.

The Duke, the 4th Duke of Sutherland, wears a formal suit with a top hat and a decorative Order of the Thistle sash. Stafford House, also known as 17 St James's Square, was the London residence of the Duke and Duchess of Sutherland. The lifeboat fete was an annual event organized to raise funds for the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI), a charity dedicated to saving lives at sea. The event was an important social occasion, attended by high society figures, and was held in the grand gardens of Stafford House. The Duchess and Duke of Sutherland were known for their philanthropy and charitable work. The Duke was a prominent figure in British politics, serving as a Member of Parliament and a Lord-Lieutenant of Sutherland. The Duchess was also involved in various charitable organizations and was a patron of the arts. This photograph captures a moment in history, showcasing the elegance and generosity of the Duke and Duchess of Sutherland as they welcomed guests to the Stafford House Lifeboat Fete in support of the RNLI. The image is a testament to the power of philanthropy and the importance of community engagement, values that continue to resonate with us today.
