In this enchanting photograph from the 1930s, Ethne Woollan, the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Montgomery Woollan, is captured in a moment of joy and serenity as she holds a black and white cat. The year is 1933, and Ethne's life is about to take a new turn as she has recently become engaged to John Baskervyle-Glegg of the prestigious Royal Scots Greys. Ethne's elegant and timeless beauty is on full display in this image by the renowned photographer Madame Yevonde. Dressed in a floral, patterned gown that is both fashionable and feminine for the era, Ethne exudes an air of sophistication and grace. The delicate flowers and intricate patterns of her dress add a touch of elegance to the photograph, while the contrasting black and white cat in her arms brings a playful and whimsical element to the scene. The historical context of this photograph is further emphasized by the fact that Ethne's fiancé, John Baskervyle-Glegg, was a member of the Royal Scots Greys, a distinguished regiment of the British Army.

This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of elegance, beauty, and tradition.
