EDITORS COMMENTS
This elegant portrait captures the radiant beauty and poise of The Hon. Priscilla Leonie Brett on the eve of her debut into London society in 1939. Daughter of Viscount and Viscountess Esher, Priscilla was presented at the third Court that year and graced the pages of The Bystander magazine. The image shows her in a stunning gown, adorned with intricate beading and a delicate floral headpiece, as she prepared for her debutante ball held at 21 Hill Street. Priscilla's debut was a significant moment in her life, marking her transition into adulthood and the beginning of her social and romantic adventures. Just over a year later, on 22 February 1941, she married the architect Sir Martyn Gervase Beckett in a beautiful ceremony. Sir Martyn, a distinguished figure in his own right, was a fitting match for the charming and sophisticated Priscilla. This portrait offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of elegance and refinement, when debutante balls and court presentations were the height of social status. The image is a testament to the grace and elegance of The Hon. Priscilla Leonie Brett, a young woman who embodied the spirit of her era and left an indelible mark on history.
