EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking black and white portrait, Lady Alexandra Haig, eldest daughter of the renowned British Field Marshal Douglas Haig, poses confidently for the camera in 1938. At the age of 35, Lady Haig exudes an air of sophistication and elegance, her piercing gaze fixed intently on the viewer. Her chic bob hairstyle, a popular choice among modern women of the 1930s, frames her delicate features and accentuates her refined beauty. Douglas Haig, 1st Earl Haig, GCB, OM, GCVO, DSO, PC (1861-1928), was a prominent military figure in British history, serving as the Commander-in-Chief of the British Army during the First World War. Lady Haig, born on January 22, 1903, was the eldest of his five children with his wife, Lady Margaret Sibell Haig. This portrait captures a moment in time, as Lady Haig stands poised and self-assured, reflecting the grace and composure that would have been expected of her as the daughter of a high-ranking military officer. The image is a testament to the enduring elegance and style of the 1930s, as well as a glimpse into the life of a remarkable woman who played a significant role in the history of her family and her country. Lady Haig's legacy extends beyond her lineage, as she was an accomplished equestrian and a dedicated philanthropist. She was a patron of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, among other charitable organizations. This portrait serves as a reminder of her unique place in history, as both a member of a distinguished military family and a compassionate and influential figure in her own right.
