EDITORS COMMENTS
This image graces the front cover of The Sketch magazine's November 1928 issue, featuring the enigmatic figure of Paula Gellibrand, who would later become the Marquise de Casa Maury. The photograph, taken by the renowned British photographer Cecil Beaton, captures Paula in a shimmering metallic dress, her gaze fixed on the intricately designed wrought-iron gates before her. The setting is both artistic and mysterious, with the gates framing Paula in a way that emphasizes her beauty and allure. Paula Gellibrand was a society figure and model of the 1920s, known for her striking looks and charisma. This photograph, with its ethereal quality and timeless elegance, perfectly encapsulates the glamour and sophistication of the era. The use of black and white adds to the image's sense of drama and intrigue, making it a standout cover that continues to captivate viewers almost a century after it was first published. Cecil Beaton was a celebrated photographer of his time, renowned for his portraits of high society figures, film stars, and royalty. His work for The Sketch magazine during the 1920s and 1930s helped to establish its reputation as a leading publication for fashion and society news. This cover photograph of Paula Gellibrand is just one example of the many iconic images he created during this period, each one a testament to his artistic vision and skill.
