EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a tender moment between Lady Maureen Dufferin and her young son, Sheridan, in 1939. Lady Dufferin, née Ava Alice Devereux, was the wife of the 6th Baronet of Dufferin and Ava, and a prominent figure in Irish and British society during the 1930s. Her elegant and refined appearance is on full display in this portrait, as she cradles her cherubic son with a loving gaze. Sheridan, born in 1938, would go on to become a distinguished patron of the arts, following in the footsteps of his mother who was known for her support of various cultural institutions. The image of mother and child, bathed in soft light, evokes a sense of warmth and nostalgia for a bygone era. The photograph, taken in the late 1930s, captures the innocence and vulnerability of childhood, as well as the unbreakable bond between a mother and her son. The photograph is part of the extensive archive of the Illustrated London News (ILN) Consolidated Archive Holdings Ltd, and is a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of the 1930s. This image not only provides a glimpse into the lives of the British aristocracy during this period, but also serves as a poignant reminder of the universal experience of motherhood and the love between a mother and her child.
