EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in history as MME Wellington Koo sits for her portrait by the renowned artist, Mr Edmund Dulac. Taken on August 19,1921, at his studio located at 117 Ladbroke Road, this image exudes an air of elegance and sophistication. MME Wellington Koo, formerly known as Hui-lan Oei, was the daughter of Chinese businessman Oei Tiong Ham. Her marriage to Chinese diplomat and politician Vi Kyuin Wellington Koo was announced in November 1920 while he served as the Chinese Minister to the United States. Shortly after their wedding, Vi Kyuin Wellington Koo was appointed as the Chinese Minister to Great Britain in early 1921. The couple resided in London until June 1946 but unfortunately divorced shortly after World War II. Despite their personal struggles, this photograph immortalizes MME Wellington Koo's grace and beauty during her time living abroad. The monochrome aesthetic adds a timeless quality to this image while highlighting both fashion trends of the era and Mr Edmund Dulac's artistic talent. It serves as a reminder of an influential figure who played a significant role in diplomatic circles during one of history's most transformative periods. Alfieri masterfully captured this historical moment through his lens without commercial intent but rather with an appreciation for artistry and cultural significance.
