1786 1846 Courtesan Curly Memoir Wellington Wilson
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enigmatic Harriette Wilson, a renowned courtesan and memoir writer from the 19th century. With her dark curly hair cascading around her shoulders, Harriette exudes an air of mystery and intrigue. Known for her connections to high society, one of her close friends was none other than the Duke of Wellington himself.
In this portrait, taken in 1846 when Harriette was 60 years old, she appears both elegant and alluring. Her piercing gaze seems to hint at a life filled with scandalous secrets and forbidden liaisons. Despite living in a time when women were expected to conform to strict societal norms, Harriette fearlessly carved out a place for herself as a successful writer and socialite.
As we gaze upon this historical image, we are transported back to a bygone era where passion and scandal mingled freely behind closed doors. Harriette's story serves as a reminder that even in the most rigid of times, there were those who dared to defy convention and live life on their own terms.
This striking print is not just a visual representation of Harriette Wilson; it is also a window into the fascinating world of 19th-century London high society. Through Mary Evans Picture Library's meticulous preservation of this piece of history, we are able to glimpse into the life of one of history's most intriguing figures.
