EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking cover image from the September 19, 1940 issue of Tatler magazine features a portrait of The Hon. Mary Katharine Coke, younger daughter of Viscount and Viscountess Coke, and granddaughter of the Earl of Leicester. At the time of this photograph, Mary was engaged to Thomas Cockayne Harvey, a Scots Guards officer. The portrait was captured by renowned British photographer Madame Yevonde, who was known for her innovative and artistic approach to portraiture. In the image, Mary is pictured wearing a Mexican hat and posing next to a cactus, adding an exotic and playful touch to the portrait. The use of the Mexican hat and the cactus may have been inspired by the current trend for all things Mexican, which was popular in British society at the time. The photograph exudes an air of glamour and sophistication, reflecting the elegance and charm of Mary herself. Madame Yevonde's portrait of The Hon. Mary Katharine Coke is a beautiful example of her unique style and skill as a photographer. Her use of lighting, composition, and props helped to create a visually striking and memorable image that has stood the test of time. This portrait is a testament to the enduring appeal of classic portraiture and the power of a well-captured moment to transport us to another time and place.
