EDITORS COMMENTS
This image graces the cover of the very first edition of Tatler magazine, published on 3 July 1901. The Duchess of Sutherland, Millicent Fanny Sutherland-Leveson Gower (nee Millicent Fanny St Clair-Erskine), is depicted in all her aristocratic elegance and beauty. Born in 1867, the Duchess was a prominent figure in British society as a renowned hostess and social reformer. Her title came from her marriage to the 6th Duke of Sutherland, making her one of the most influential women of her time. The launch of Tatler magazine marked a significant moment in the history of British journalism. Tatler was one of the first magazines to focus on society news and gossip, providing a platform for the latest trends, fashion, and cultural happenings. The Duchess's appearance on the cover was a fitting choice, as she was a regular feature in society pages and a leading figure in London's high society. Millicent Fanny Sutherland-Leveson Gower was not just a pretty face, however. She was also a passionate social reformer, using her influence to advocate for various causes, including women's suffrage and the welfare of children. Her commitment to social justice and her elegant demeanor made her a beloved and respected figure in British society. This photograph captures the Duchess in her prime, exuding grace and sophistication. Her timeless beauty and enduring legacy continue to captivate us over a century later, making this cover a testament to the enduring allure of the British aristocracy and the power of journalism to document history.
