EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the elegance and grace of Regina Bittencourt, Countess of Lisburne, in 1915. Born in Chile as the eldest daughter of the Chilean Minister to London, Regina's life took an unexpected turn when she married Ernest Vaughan, the 7th Earl of Lisburne, in 1913. At the time of this photograph, Ernest was serving with his regiment, the Scots Guards, at the front during the First World War. Regina's fashionable attire reflects the trends of the 1910s, with a high-waisted, narrow silhouette and a voluminous skirt. Her outfit is adorned with intricate beadwork and lace, adding to her regal and sophisticated appearance. The Countess's striking features, accentuated by her elegant updo and delicate pearl earrings, further emphasize her refined beauty. As the first Chilean peeress, Regina Bittencourt, Countess of Lisburne, represents an intriguing intersection of Chilean and British aristocratic culture during a time of global upheaval. This photograph, published in the Bystander in 1915, offers a glimpse into the fashionable world of the aristocracy during the First World War and the unique experiences of a Chilean woman navigating this elite social sphere.
