1932 Alexander Apr20 Baptism Bath Christening Daphne Heir Infant Marquess Thynne Vivian Weymouth
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this enchanting photograph, the former Daphne Vivian, later known as Viscountess Weymouth, cradles her newborn baby son, Alexander George Thynne, in the hallowed halls of St. Martin-in-the-Fields church in central London. The year was 1932, and the occasion was the christening of the future 7th Marquess of Bath. Daphne, dressed elegantly in a long, flowing gown, gazes down at her precious infant with a look of deep affection and pride. Her husband, the 6th Marquess of Bath, stands proudly behind her, his hand resting gently on her shoulder. Alexander, swathed in a pristine white christening gown, lies peacefully in his mother's arms, his eyes closed in slumber. The intricate details of the church's architecture can be seen in the background, adding a sense of grandeur and history to the scene. This poignant moment captures the joy and wonder of new parenthood, as well as the deep-rooted traditions and heritage of the Marquessate of Bath. The christening marked the beginning of Alexander's journey as the heir to one of England's most ancient and distinguished titles, a journey that would be filled with both challenges and triumphs. This photograph is a beautiful reminder of the enduring bond between a mother and her child, as well as the rich tapestry of history and tradition that surrounds the noble families of the British Isles.
