EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning black and white portrait captures the radiant beauty and elegance of Margaret Alice Leicester-Warren (1905-1964) as she basks in the joy of her recent engagement to Major Oliver William Hargreaves Leese of the Coldstream Guards. Dressed in a chic, high-necked gown with intricate beading and a flowing train, Margaret exudes an air of sophistication and grace. Her expressive eyes sparkle with excitement and love, reflecting the happiness she feels as she embarks on this new chapter of her life. The portrait was taken by the renowned British photographer Madame Yevonde (1893-1975) in 1932, just before Margaret's wedding to Major Leese, which took place in 1933. Madame Yevonde was known for her innovative and artistic approach to portrait photography, and this image is a testament to her skill in capturing the essence of her subjects. Margaret Leicester-Warren was an aristocrat of the 1930s, a decade marked by economic prosperity and social change. This period saw the rise of the "silent generation," young people who came of age during the interwar years and were characterized by their reserve and understated elegance. Margaret embodies this spirit, with her refined manners, impeccable style, and quiet confidence. This photograph is a precious reminder of a bygone era, a time when love and commitment were celebrated with grandeur and style. It also serves as a testament to the enduring power of photography to capture the essence of a moment in time, preserving it for future generations to enjoy and be inspired by.
