EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Serious Moment with Whiskers: Lady Daphne Finch-Hatton's Portrait by Madame Yevonde, 1933" 2. In this black-and-white portrait, Lady Daphne Finch-Hatton, the eldest daughter of the Earl and Countess of Winchilsea and Nottingham, is depicted in a contemplative mood. The photograph, taken by the renowned British photographer Madame Yevonde in 1933, showcases Lady Daphne's striking features and her deep concentration. 3. Surrounding her, an intriguing element adds to the image's allure: Whisky, a cat that inhabited Madame Yevonde's studio, curiously peeks out from behind a vase. This unexpected presence adds a touch of whimsy and playfulness to the otherwise formal portrait. 4. Madame Yevonde, born in 1893, was a ground-breaking figure in the world of photography. Active between 1915 and 1975, she is best known for her pioneering work using the Vivex colour process during the 1930s. Her images of society folk and other personalities regularly appeared in prestigious British publications like The Sketch and The Tatler throughout the 1920s and 30s. 5. Lady Daphne Finch-Hatton's portrait is an excellent example of Madame Yevonde's ability to capture her subjects' personalities with remarkable depth and nuance. The image invites viewers to ponder the thoughts and emotions that may have been on Lady Daphne's mind during this moment in time. 6. This historical photograph is a testament to Madame Yevonde's artistic vision and her significant contribution to the annals of photography history.
