EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, Lady Helen Vincent, Viscountess D Abernon, gracefully glides across the ice at the renowned Princes Skating Rink in London. Born as Helen Venetia Vincent in 1866, she was a celebrated British peeress and socialite known for her exceptional beauty and elegance. In 1890, she married Sir Edgar Vincent, beginning a life of privilege and social distinction. During the tumultuous period of the First World War, Lady Helen demonstrated remarkable courage and dedication. She trained as a nurse anaesthetist and devoted herself to the care of thousands of wounded soldiers in allied military hospitals. Her selfless actions during this time further solidified her reputation as a woman of great compassion and strength. The year is 1910, and here, Lady D Abernon is captured in a moment of leisure and enjoyment. The Princes Skating Rink, a popular destination for London's high society, played host to this exhibition, where Lady Helen dazzled the crowd with her poise and skill on the ice. The Duke and Duchess of Rutland, along with other esteemed social celebrities, were in attendance to witness this enchanting display. Lady Helen's presence at the skating rink serves as a reminder of a bygone era, where aristocrats embraced the joys of sport and leisure amidst the opulence and grandeur of their privileged lives. This image invites us to appreciate the grace and sophistication of a remarkable woman who dedicated her life to both her social obligations and humanitarian endeavors.
