EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative portrait captures the enigmatic and charismatic presence of Lily Langtry, Lady de Bathe (1863-1929), during her humanitarian efforts for the Red Cross in America during World War I. Dressed in a simple yet elegant white blouse and a voluminous black skirt, Langtry exudes an air of sophistication and determination. Her expressive eyes convey a deep sense of compassion and commitment to the cause. The iconic English actress, known for her beauty and captivating stage presence, had left her acting career behind to devote herself to the war effort. With her signature feather fan in hand, Langtry posed for this photograph, perhaps to raise awareness and funds for the Red Cross. The fan, a symbol of femininity and grace, adds an intriguing contrast to the backdrop of the war. This image is a poignant reminder of the significant role women played during the First World War, often serving in support roles and contributing to the war effort in various ways. Langtry's dedication and selflessness serve as a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of women during this pivotal period in history. The portrait, taken in 1917, showcases the timeless allure of Langtry's enchanting persona and her unwavering commitment to making a difference in the world. This image is a must-have for anyone interested in the history of actresses, portraits, and the First World War.
