EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing photograph, published in the Sphere magazine in 1925, captures the key figures involved in the sensational Dennistoun case, also known as the Bachelors Case. At the center, Lieut-Colonel Ian Onslow Dennistoun (1879-1938) and his wife, Almina Herbert, Countess of Carnarvon (1876-1969), are depicted. The Countess, dressed elegantly in a long coat and hat, stands resolutely by her husband's side. To their left, Dorothy Muriel Dennistoun (nee Webster, later Woevodsky) (1888-1980), is seen bringing the action against her former husband. Dorothy, wearing a simple yet determined expression, is flanked by her legal team, including Sir George Lewis, Ellis Williams, and William Hume. Behind the group, various other notable figures of the time can be seen, including Justice McCardie, Edward Marshall, and Sir Edward Hall. The Dennistoun case was a highly publicized scandal of the 1920s, with Dorothy accusing her husband of bigamy and adultery. The trial, which took place in the law courts, captivated the public's attention and made headlines for its shocking revelations. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the lives of these individuals and the complex web of relationships that surrounded the Dennistoun case. The image, published by the Illustrated London News Ltd and available through Mary Evans Prints Online, provides a unique window into the past and offers a reminder of the intrigue and scandal that often accompanied the lives of the wealthy and powerful during this era.
