EDITORS COMMENTS
Dame Margot Fonteyn, the renowned ballerina, stands beside her husband Dr Roberto Arias and his 16-year-old son Roberto in this poignant photo print. The image captures a moment of strength and resilience amidst adversity. Dr Arias, a Panamanian political figure, had been tragically shot and left paralyzed by a political adversary in Panama City just months before this picture was taken in December 1964. Despite his condition, he bravely left Stoke Mandeville Hospital to spend Christmas day with his beloved wife and family at the home of Dame Margot's mother Mrs Hilda Hookham in London. The photograph showcases the unwavering support between Dame Margot and her husband as they face life's challenges together. It is evident that love transcends physical limitations as Dr Arias sits proudly in his wheelchair beside his accomplished wife. Dame Margot Fonteyn's gracefulness extends beyond the stage; she embodies compassion and devotion towards her quadriplegic husband. This snapshot serves as a reminder of their unbreakable bond during difficult times. Captured by Bill Rowntree, an artist known for capturing profound moments through photography, this image encapsulates the spirit of resilience within both personal relationships and overcoming physical obstacles. It stands as a testament to the power of love amidst adversity.
