EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative portrait captures the poised elegance and quiet strength of Lady Elcho, nee Violet Manners (1888-1920), a prominent figure in early 20th century British society. Daughter of the 8th Duke of Rutland, Lady Elcho was the sister of the renowned socialite, Lady Diana Cooper, and was married to Hugo Francis Charteris, Lord Elcho, heir to the Earl of Weymss. The photograph, taken in 1920, captures Lady Elcho in a simple yet sophisticated black gown, her dark eyes gazing intently into the distance, her expression reflecting a depth of emotion and resilience. The image is a poignant reminder of the tragic loss of her husband, Lord Elcho, who was killed in action on 23 April 1916 during World War I. Despite her personal grief, Lady Elcho continued to uphold her social duties and graced the pages of society magazines with her elegant presence. Her unwavering strength and grace in the face of adversity made her a beloved figure in the social circles of the time. This portrait, taken by the renowned Illustrated London News Ltd and published by Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the life of a remarkable woman who embodied the spirit of resilience and grace in the face of adversity. It serves as a reminder of a bygone era, a time of elegance, poise, and the indomitable spirit of those who lived through it.
