Downshire Evelyn Foster Hillsborough Marchioness Marquess Peerage Miss
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this elegant photograph, Miss Evelyn Foster, later to become Lady Downshire, is captured in the prime of her youth and beauty. The image, dated 1909, shows the future marchioness standing gracefully in a garden, her hands delicately folded in front of her, dressed in an exquisite gown that accentuates her slender figure. The serene expression on her face and the tranquil setting of the garden add to the overall sense of refinement and poise. At the time of this photograph, Evelyn Foster was yet to marry the 6th Marquess of Downshire, Charles Crichton-Stuart. The marriage took place in 1910, and Evelyn became the Marchioness of Downshire, joining the ranks of the Irish peerage and the prestigious Hillsborough estate. The Marquessate of Downshire is an ancient title with a rich history, and the marriage of Miss Foster to the Marquess marked the beginning of a new chapter in the storied history of the family. The union brought together two prominent figures, and the photograph serves as a testament to their love and the beginning of their life together. The garden setting of the photograph is fitting, as the Hillsborough estate is renowned for its beautiful gardens and landscapes. The image captures the essence of the peaceful and idyllic surroundings that the new Lady Downshire would come to call home. This photograph, taken over a century ago, offers a glimpse into the past and the lives of the aristocracy during a bygone era. It is a poignant reminder of the enduring allure of history and the stories that lie within the pages of the past.
