EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting front cover of The Sketch magazine showcases the elegant and radiant Miss Elizabeth Asquith on her wedding day in May 1919. Daughter of the former British Prime Minister, Herbert Asquith, Elizabeth's nuptials to Romanian diplomat, Prince Antoine Bibesco, were a grand and historic event. The ivory satin gown Elizabeth wore for the occasion was a breathtaking sight, adorned with intricate antique Venetian and rose point lace, and a dramatic train of brocaded velvet, lined with cloth-of-silver. The wedding was a triple affair, with ceremonies taking place at a registry office, a Greek church in Romania, and the main event at St. Margaret's, Westminster. The exquisite detail of Elizabeth's bridal attire, captured in this stunning photograph, is a testament to the opulence and grandeur of the era. This portrait, published on the cover of The Sketch magazine, is a beautiful reminder of a bygone era and a significant moment in the lives of Elizabeth and Prince Antoine Bibesco.
