EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the youthful elegance and radiant beauty of Margaret Monck, later known as Margaret Thesiger, as she poses for a portrait on the occasion of her marriage to renowned filmmaker John Goldman in 1934. Born as the youngest daughter of Frederic Thesiger, 1st Viscount Chelmsford, Margaret's upbringing in the upper echelons of British society provided her with an unique perspective on the world around her. However, it was her passion for photography that truly set Margaret apart. In the 1930s, she gained recognition for her street photography in London, capturing the essence of the city and its people with a keen eye and an unerring sense of composition. This photograph, taken by an unidentified photographer for The Sketch, offers a glimpse into Margaret's personal life, revealing a young woman of grace and poise, poised on the brink of a new chapter. Margaret's marriage to John Goldman, a man who shared her artistic sensibilities, marked the beginning of a lifelong partnership and collaboration. Together, they went on to produce a number of acclaimed documentaries, showcasing their shared commitment to capturing the world around them through the lens of their cameras. This evocative portrait serves as a testament to Margaret's enduring allure and her place in the annals of British photographic history. With her timeless beauty and unwavering curiosity, she continues to inspire and captivate audiences, more than eighty years after this photograph was taken.
