EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, taken in July 1914, we find Violet Catherine Manners, Lady Elcho (1888-1971), the second daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Rutland, radiating elegance and charm. At the time of this image, Lady Elcho was married to Captain Hugo Francis Charteris, Lord Elcho. Born into the aristocratic family of the Dukes of Rutland, Lady Elcho was raised in the opulent surroundings of Belvoir Castle in Leicestershire, England. Her upbringing was steeped in the traditions and customs of the upper class, shaping her into a young woman of refined manners and impeccable style. The photograph captures Lady Elcho at the height of her youth and beauty, with an hourglass figure accentuated by her elegant gown and the delicate curves of her silhouette. Her expressive eyes, framed by long lashes and a subtle hint of mascara, convey a sense of intelligence and allure. The intricate detailing of her hat, adorned with a delicate veil and a feather, adds a touch of sophistication to her ensemble. As the summer of 1914 drew to a close, the world was on the brink of a cataclysmic conflict. Yet, in this moment, Lady Elcho remains a beacon of tranquility and grace, encapsulating the essence of a bygone era. Her timeless beauty and aristocratic bearing continue to captivate us, offering a glimpse into the history and elegance of a world long past.
