Confessions by Camera: A Glimpse into the Private World of Mrs. Charles Sweeny, Later the Infamous Duchess of Argyll This image is a page from The Sketch's Confessions by Camera series, featuring the enigmatic Mrs. Charles Sweeny, who would later make headlines as the Duchess of Argyll. Taken in her home in 1934, she is shown in all her elegant glory, embodying the height of chic and sophistication. At this time, Mrs. Sweeny was a former Deb of the Year and an 'it girl' of the 1930s social scene. In this intimate portrait, the young Mrs. Sweeny is asked a series of seemingly banal questions, revealing her preferences and quirks. Her favorite month is June, and her preferred color is green. An intriguing detail is her aversion to ordering food for meals, suggesting a certain independence and self-sufficiency. The 1930s were a time of glamour and opulence, and this photograph encapsulates the essence of the era's popular culture. Mrs. Sweeny's story is a fascinating one, as she would later become embroiled in a scandalous divorce case that made international headlines. This image, however, offers a glimpse into her life before the tabloid frenzy, providing a snapshot of a bygone era and a glimpse into the life of a woman who would become one of the most notorious figures of the 20th century.
