EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the moment Mr. and Mrs. Irving Berlin, the renowned American musician and composer, set foot on English soil for the first time as a married couple, in 1929. The image, taken at Southampton Docks, showcases Irving Berlin, born Israel Baline in 1888, dressed in a stylish suit and hat, with his arm protectively around his newlywed wife, formerly Miss Ellen Mackay. The elegant Mrs. Berlin, dressed in a chic fur coat and hat, gazes up at her husband with a radiant smile. Irving Berlin, who had already made a name for himself as a prolific songwriter in the United States, had come to England to introduce his music to European audiences. His arrival marked a significant moment in music history, as he was one of the first American composers to bring jazz and popular music to the Old World. The couple's honeymoon in England came just seven months after their wedding on January 7, 1926. Ellen Mackay, who was 21 at the time, had captured the heart of the 37-year-old composer, and the two were married in a quiet ceremony at City Hall in New York City. This photograph, taken in December 1929, is a testament to the love and success that Irving Berlin had found both in his music and in his marriage to Ellen. The image is a valuable historical document, providing a glimpse into the personal lives of one of America's most beloved composers and his beloved wife.
