EDITORS COMMENTS
In this elegant photograph, Lady Cynthia Mosley (1898-1933), the second daughter of the Marquess Curzon of Kedleston, is captured in a moment of grace and poise. The image, dated November 1920, shows Lady Mosley in the prime of her youth, dressed in a stunning gown that shimmers with beads and sequins. At the time, Lady Cynthia was making headlines for her offer to take parties to the Chesterfield House Ball, one of the residences of Princess Mary's fiancé, Lord Lascelles. Lady Mosley's daring offer came after she had already caused a stir in high society by marrying Oswald Mosley, MP for Harrow, later to become the MP for Smethwick, in a quiet ceremony in London earlier that year. The press described Lady Mosley as a "young dance hostess" before her marriage, but her new title as a married lady did little to dampen her social popularity. Oswald Mosley, a charismatic and ambitious politician, was known for his radical views and his charisma. The couple's whirlwind romance and unconventional marriage made them a sensation in the press, and they quickly became the talk of London society. Despite the controversy surrounding their union, Lady Cynthia and Oswald's love for each other shines through in this beautiful photograph, taken just months after their marriage. The photograph is a testament to the couple's youthful exuberance and the excitement of the Roaring Twenties, a time of change and experimentation in British society. It is a reminder of a bygone era, when the lives of the rich and famous were closely followed by the public, and when the power of a single photograph could capture the imagination of a nation.
